The only problem is the lack of liquid.
There will be hundreds of these fish that will die this year, (if they haven't already perished last year according to the few Forestry people I talked to.) I had to get up at least one time this year before the fishery was annihilated by the drought for years to come, and was saddened at the lack of water, and the sudden decrease of population of these majestic fish, including several areas where fish kills were already happening.
I would think the DFW has a contingency plan if our state fish does die out in certain watersheds due to the drought, perhaps through restocking, but it seems the resources down south may be tied up with other projects, including counting how many Flatheads live in DVL.
