Steelhead trout spawning season was saved this year in a southern Santa Clara County creek thanks to wardens who raided an illegal marijuana farm and cleaned up the toxic mess left behind.
In Mendocino County, wardens arrested 12 men and women near Dos Rios for clearing an entire hillside to create their pot farm and illegally diverting 300,000 gallons of water from the Eel River.
Growing pot, and stealing water to do so, is a rising phenomenon statewide, said state Fish and Game Warden Patrick Foy.
