Fly Fishers Disagree on Silver Creek Restoration Proposal
Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 12:00AM 
To mitigate the imapct of sediment build up there is a proposal to do restoration work on Silver Creek’s Kilpatrick Pond. Good for the fish but, as always, there are some who don't care for the proposal.
Magic Valley covers the restoration plan and debate in depth, along with instructions on how you can submit your own comments. A public hearing on the proposal will be held on March 19th.

Awwww. The poor widdle fatcat touwists can't walk on their own widdle wegs........
Also, natural? There is very little that is natural about sediment built up behind a dam.
What's not to like? What's good for the fish is good for the fishermen.
Hey, folks. There is a public hearing next week in Blaine County about the Silver Creek project. The voice of the opposition is loud so please write in support of this project. TNC has the Army Corps permit, but needs Blaine County and IDWR permits. Please write to the info below:

Thanks for your help!
In this case what is good for the fish could be bad for the insects which is bad for the fish. Just sayin..
With all due respect, while disruption of the benthic zone may temporarily depress macro-invertebrate populations, the increase in structure, increased oxygen levels and lower water temps will lead to an overall increase in "bugs" in the long term. Again, what's not to like?
