Good write up. I've a friend that fly fishes them and he says it's pretty amazing fishing up there.

It's cool that they have come back to an extent but the reality is these fish still have nowhere to spawn, and are completely dependent on the hatchery and the genetic lines they have introduced.

They are fighting the effects of 100+ years of mismanagement on almost every level.

The main issue is water. They commercially fished those trout taking something like a million pounds a year off and on for sixty years, but killed them off in less then forty once they diverted the Truckees water for irrigation.

One stupid diversion Dam did it, and even though they now know that's the issue it still is not been equipped with a fish ladder.




As long as the TCID is allowed to take the Truckees water and divert the majority of it to their irrigation reservoirs the conditions that caused the extinction at Pyramid continue.

Considering all the money they must make off that water the least they could do is put in a fish ladder for the spawning run.

Thanks for the post, Jim
