Your concerns about the role of environmental groups in issues related to the Emigrant dams and recreational stock grazing should be directed at the groups involved: Wilderness Watch and High Sierra Hikers.Roland Knapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04407843022354212177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495602241048152251.post-38551033589387403692010-05-04T18:34:15.231-07:002010-05-04T18:34:15.231-07:00Mr. Knapp, I worked hard for years to continue the...Mr. Knapp, I worked hard for years to continue the maintenance on the small check dams in the Emigrant wilderness and had no help what so ever from groups like yours that care about amphibians. It is a proven fact that these dams provide hundreds of acres of habitat for amphibians. The so called environmentalist did not care one bit about the dams and worked to defeat efforts to maintain them.

I'm...Hi Russ. Thanks for your thoughts on this. I'm actually not overly surprised that the DFG is trying so hard to maintain its current fish stocking program. As you suggest, that is a pretty natural reaction. I am surprised at the arguments they made to achieve this goal. For example, if they wanted to maintain their current level of hatchery trout production, they could have made a rational Roland Knapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04407843022354212177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495602241048152251.post-75936318557414910702010-01-19T15:35:52.128-08:002010-01-19T15:35:52.128-08:00you're suprised because why? why wouldn't...you're suprised because why? why wouldn't DFG look out for their current implementations (and employees.) It's very unlikely you can make a change to an organization from the outside unless you're absolutely solid on your data. I would say that your data is pretty solid, but they didn't listen.
