    Really good! I recall this time in Jordan River and now it seems like an abandoned area. We truly do need to be more mindful of nature from a logical and realistic, common sense approach, not the "throw money at it" attitude that our governments have adopted once they've totally raped the land. It angers me that while this knowledge should be basic elementary knowledge (I know it was for me) people and government are always trying to figure out a way to bypass this knowledge, somehow rationalizing that their destruction is ultimately for the good of all people, when it's really all about money and greed. Unfortunately, this attitude is what has put us in our current situation of massive problems in the world...bees nearly extinct, climate change, landslides, forest fires and destruction. Like Dennis said, "Who said it was OK to do this???"

      I sincerely thank you for the affirmation.

    Some of the info you provided isn't accurate. Steelhead are not landlocked rainbow trout, quite opposite. Steelhead are migratory rainbow trout that live in the Pacific ocean and reproduce in fresh water creeks and rivers like salmon. Rainbow trout are only different in that they permanently reside in creeks and rivers, and don't grow as large. Landlocked is when an area once connected to an ocean is no longer and a population exists in an inland body of water

      What I meant to say was that the trout in the diversion dam would come down Jordan river and occasionally make their way out to sea, and then come back to spawn in the river several years later. Sorry I was not clearer than I was.

      Don't agree? Sorry, I cannot be disuaded.

      @@WestCoastDennis any snowmelt or rainfall will allow those fish back. It's pretty obvious you aren't an ecoligist, and have no knowledge on basic ecology or even the biology of the fish you are talking about.

      @@chrism8180 You must have missed what I was trying to say. The water management of the Diversion Dam, by the government was not sure if they were going to let any water out of the dam (during the summer months) so that the river (upstream) of the powerhouse would be able to support the wild rainbow trout that used to come out of the Diversion Dam reservoir. The last time I checked up past the powerhouse I hiked up in there to be shocked that the river was being let go pretty much dry, unable to support these wild rainbow trout that I am talking about. And no, I am not a ecologist or whatever you are trying to say. I am a human being that lived there as a teenager through the 70's and I am telling the truth about everything I am talking about. I don't like it, and the river should never have been cut-off like that. You think my words are meaningless? That is your problem/and sorry if you feel like that.
