[NOTE: We Won! This was defeated thanks to the avalanche of emails]
In the earlier post, I recommended that everyone send a note to the folks below. Some of us have received notes back indicating that we are "misinformed".
If you get one of these, please reply back (politely, of course) with this extract from the proposed natural resources plan:
"12. All rivers in Siskiyou County with the exception of the Klamath River, are recognized as non-navigable streams, with bed and banks owned as private property by adjacent landowners."
If you have not written yet, here is an updated example email you can send to the folks listed on the right. And... please do send an email.
Here's a draft email for you to cut and paste:
I heard about the pending decision to declare key waters in your area as non-navigable as part of the Environmental Resources Plan. Specifically, this clause in the proposed plan is totally unacceptable:
12. All rivers in Siskiyou County with the exception of the Klamath River, are recognized as non-navigable streams, with bed and banks owned as private property by adjacent landowners."
I respectfully urge you to reconsider this. Passing the plan with this clause will cut off your tourist traffic and have an economic impact on hotels, restaurants, guides and other local businesses.
I live on the East Coast and will go elsewhere if this passes - why bother to go someplace where my choices are limited and the welcome mat has been yanked from the doorstep?

From Trout Underground:
Visit the Trout Underground for updates as the fight continues
"Contact the County Supervisors (e-mail or call — contact information below) and let them know you don’t support the Environmental Resources Plan, and that if enacted, it will harm the sustainable tourist economy in Siskiyou County.
The first two Supervisors actually sit on the committee (Armstrong is driving this policy), and if you only contact two people, they’re the two. (My advice? Send e-mails to everyone, but call Kobseff and Armstrong.)
