California’s Wild Steelhead Protections Upheld by Federal Appeals Court
Saturday, August 21, 2010 at 12:00AM
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has rejected an attempt to strip protected status from wild steelhead trout in California’s Central Valley.
A group of Central Valley irrigators had argued that ocean-going Central Valley steelhead population should be removed from the endangered species list based on their opinion that freshwater rainbow trout – which never go to sea – might someday replace extinct steelhead populations.

This just in!
Central Valley irrigators vowed to appeal based on their opinion that freshwater rainbow trout might someday fly out of their collective ass.

A small victory, unfortunately. There are a hell of a lot more hurdles for that minute population to thrive.
One victory leads to another!
However, we might be in trouble if trout do start flying out of asses
There is justice!!
