BACKGROUND of parasite issue

Foreseeing the impending catastrophe and blame, Klamath Water Users sent warnings to Fish and Game, CDFG, cautioning not to release millions of hatchery fish when a parasite was in the water. Low and behold, they released the tiny fish before a scheduled decrease in water diverted to the river, and of course blame the Klamath Irrigators. 
      Water Users were extremely concerned that the release of millions of hatchery fish when flows were cut back would be dangerous, especially since a parasite was present. 6/4/04.  Go HERE for KWUA original letter of concerns.
