The really ridiculous part is that they just spent a boatload of money to upgrade all the facilities at Willow. Beautiful campground, new store etc... Well I really don't think they'll get their money's worth now, not that many people like to visit there in the summer, mostly fisherman, water's too damn cold, and in the winter it's mostly fisherman for sure.
What a waste now 2 hatchery's that fed Mead and Willow with trout probably will be closed (Mead's already is), oh wait they won't actually be closed they just will only be raising endangered sucker fish to feed the stripers. Reason they can raise suckers instead of trout is water temp issues, long boring story.
