The whole Valley use to be one giant Marsh Land! all the rivers are dammed up & rivers in valley are controlled by levees... if these things were not inplace the whole valley would be flooded, yeah it would be a great habitate for fish/wild life but not for humans, you want to help wild life on earth??? STOP MULTIPLYING!!
Salmon just pass through the sac up to their spawning grounds which used to be high up in the mountains. They spawn in tributaries down on the valley floor now because they can't get past the dams. This year there are so many salmon in places they haven't been in many years, at least in my area of the central valley. They don't have the water flows to keep the eggs alive or for the fry to survive. They can restore all the habitat they want but low flows of warm water will make all that restoration meaningless.
💯 thanks for sharing. Yes, this year, there were salmon all over in creeks and streams they haven't been in years. That is the problem the egg can't survive the lethal water temps. They don't need to restore habitats. They need to restore water flow and temp! Habitat restoration is a big waste of money and time
I hear your frustration and don't disagree with much of what you said but if you really think that the djt administration is going to have a better outcome than you can forget it. Trump has said he'll send all the water to the farmers.
I know Oregon had an awesome year. Two completely different states, though that's why. We have enough water. Just too many crooked people have their hands in it and steal it at the most crucial time when salmon spawn. For huge almond orchards, we never see. We need to take more consideration for native species in our rivers. We need that cold, high flow water like we use to have
@fishtherapy247 i gotta do the shore thing in the rivers. thought I was moving to another state 4 years ago and got stuck here and ended up selling my boat not too happy.
Because of Stripped Bass, NMFS, and the Stripper lobby, Pre Lake Shasta there was only one run, the Winter Run ! Renew Coleman Hatchery that promised millions of smolt ! Closed in 2008 to protect young Rock Fish ! Tribal, use reeds, not nylon!
💯 Exactly leave the striper alone they are now neutral and are good for the river eco system. They have been here over 140 year and have Coe existed with salmon and other native fish. They should pay us fishermen to catch and kill pike minnow.
I just recently saw on the news, ( KCRA ) that the 2023 and 2024 were record years for salmon. I'm a fisherman but I don't fish for salmon. I thought it was fantastic news. Now I don't know who to believe.
It will take 3 years for the salmon population to come back. It's doesn't matter about the adult returns in if they can't spawn. We need our natural flood plains and to stop stealing our river/delta water in summer
They don’t hold back cool water for when the salmon are spawning. Doesn’t matter how many restoration projects they do. When they dump warm water on spawning salmon they die..
@scotthammond9913; bingo bro. When it’s winter time and we’re flush with water we let it flow out to the ocean. When summer comes around they panic and slow the flows down, increasing water temps and killing off the fish. They haven’t built any new water storage since the 70’s. Meanwhile our population has grown 30 fold. Sites reservoir has been shut down numerous times. Govt is stupid. It’s all by design.
There's invasive pike minnows in Berryessa but guess what? You can't fish for them and just chuck em in the grass because it's wasting fish. Yet they complain about the pike minnow affecting the fish in the area. Ridiculous
Same can be said about wild pigs when hunting. The state requires hunters pay for a validation instead of making it free with the purchase of a state hunting license.
I think that if all of us don’t purchases fishing license for alize 2 years they will be bargain for that lost money. Cuz they make millions every year they raised the price for licenses and make more and more regulations and leave less fishing grounds
We owe it to our future generations to preserve the wonderful wild fish we were gifted. PLESASE PLEASE dont eat farmed fish or feed it to your pets! Its toxic and loaded with PCBs and antibiotics/anti parasite poisions.
Look at all those self-righteous "subject matter experts" they know how nature works, they know how to fix what took nature thousands if not millions of years to create. ....and the stupid sheeple, "I think it's a good idea"
Put no limit on stripped bass. Done. Maybe not done, but itll get better. Why are we protecting an invasive specie. Greedy tackle shops, no size and no bag limit.
It’s crazy that the next generation will not experience the great salmon runs of my youth.
next generation??? try before europeans came here thats when salmon runs were real salmon runs
It's so sad but true. Hopefully, kings don't go completely extinct. They are a key native species
@@dan3nad no, it was greedy agg corps that destroyed our land. Do you see any salmon runs in mexico? lol
Great high-quality information here bro. That aside I must also compliment your editing skills! Well done!
Thank you, I appreciate it!

@dan3nad; or just build elsewhere. 🤯
you nailed it on the head my friend..its sad our state is now trying to mitigate a problem that they created
Thank you. Yup exactly 💯
@NorCalFishermen it's an easy fix, find who is profiting from this and shut them down
The Upper Sacramento River is above Shasta Dam.

Hopefully, things will change when Trump gets in office and seeing the problem with the native fish dying so fast
No way in hell, it's all about corporate greed, big business & that is trump & his like in a nutshell. @fishtherapy247
That's his plan he's never waverd he will send all the water to farmers. Hoping it will change under trump is laughable
i could see trump supporting the big money farmers over the fishermen.
There were So Many Salmon in Oregon that spawned out the carcasses were all over the lower Rivers ,our rivers have Almonds

Stop all Netting.😊
All i know is, is that they'll be an ocean salmon season this year.. might only be for a month but it's gonna happen. I believe May.
I hope so that would be cool! Hopefully, for freshwater, too, that would be even better
@fishtherapy247 I agree,I live in Modesto
@fishtherapy247 i gotta do the shore thing in the rivers. thought I was moving to another state 4 years ago and got stuck here and ended up selling my boat not too happy.
I hope there are good Salmon runs in 2025 and an opening of Salmon Season.
Me too! 🙏
I see another water pump out being built just below the feather & Sacramento, that will make four in that one stretch of river, to Elkhorn.
Thanks for sharing. That's so crazy! Like they need to take more water out of the river!
Because of Stripped Bass, NMFS, and the Stripper lobby, Pre Lake Shasta there was only one run, the Winter Run !
Renew Coleman Hatchery that promised millions of smolt ! Closed in 2008 to protect young Rock Fish !
Tribal, use reeds, not nylon!

If that is the case they would have never closed the salmon season!

California's a joke.. fish and game here are crooks
There's invasive pike minnows in Berryessa but guess what? You can't fish for them and just chuck em in the grass because it's wasting fish. Yet they complain about the pike minnow affecting the fish in the area. Ridiculous
Same can be said about wild pigs when hunting. The state requires hunters pay for a validation instead of making it free with the purchase of a state hunting license.
Wow, that is ridiculous! I didn't know that about berryessa
Couldn't agree with you more👍
Blame California and all the government agencies in this state.
Just go over to Oregon and you can catch and keep there
👍💯
I think that if all of us don’t purchases fishing license for alize 2 years they will be bargain for that lost money. Cuz they make millions every year they raised the price for licenses and make more and more regulations and leave less fishing grounds
Good idea!
Water resource board needs to be elected positions.
Not appointed
Dams. End of story. People want to politicize simple science issues. Remove the dams and the fish will return. Keep the dams, they won't.
It's ok. Buy your fishing license in Oregon for 2025! Don't give your money to Ca
yeah ok but i can't afford all that sht @$$hole.
It takes one gallon of water to produce a single almond
Wow, that's crazy didn't know 👍
3 gallons
Government water dams.....human nature created vs nature created
2023, 2024, everyone came to Oregon for salmon
I know my buddy went he said they killed it! I'm thinking about it for 2025
We owe it to our future generations to preserve the wonderful wild fish we were gifted.
PLESASE PLEASE dont eat farmed fish or feed it to your pets! Its toxic and loaded with PCBs and antibiotics/anti parasite poisions.
It takez 1.1 gallons of salmon water to produce ONE almond.
Wow, that's crazy!
Look at all those self-righteous "subject matter experts" they know how nature works, they know how to fix what took nature thousands if not millions of years to create.
....and the stupid sheeple, "I think it's a good idea"
ikr
They only count the native salmon
Did he say…Wiver?…lol
I always blame our government too
so what's the name of your farm?
