<br />12 Lb <br /> <br />something already covered. <br /> <br />Everybody has a purpose here at the meet- <br />ing, an objective of what they would like to <br />see. We are all here in Colorado for certain <br />reasons. I am probably the newest resident - <br />less than a year. Quite possibly many of you <br />weren't born here and are transients and you came <br />here for certain reasons. And probably if money <br />was your primary goal you wouldn't have come to <br />Colorado, so you came here for beauty too. I <br />am getting a little disturbed. I came here - <br />I found out about Colorado three years ago. I <br />fly fish on the western slope. I am a fisherman, <br />but we have good fishing in the State of Missouri. <br />I came here from Kansas City and I have driven <br />250 miles south to Table Rock and below Table <br />Rock Dam they have a river called - they call it <br />a lake. It looks like a river, called Tenecome <br />and they just pulled out a thirteen pound Rainbow <br />Trout. Now they have no channelization, they have <br />a super dam. They increase the flow of water <br />daily. For those who might be in public parks <br />at the time, they have a - the first time you <br />hear this, you think of Mississippi river boats <br />coming through. They literally blow a big whistle. <br />Anybody that has been there just gets out of the <br />river because here comes the water. But they <br />have amazing fish down there. <br /> <br />Now, ironically dams help the trout growth, <br />but in tearing up the river, it tears this <br />thing down. I saw a movie about a month ago. It <br />was made by the Idaho Fish and Game people, <br />quite possibly many of you have seen it. If <br />you haven't seen it, before you make your decision <br />about this channelization, I hope you will see <br />it. They go back as far as 80 years where they <br />have torn apart or dredged, and this is your <br />comment about five feet of dredging. If you <br />reduce this 80 years later to only 2~~ of what <br />your original production was in this area to <br />those of you honestly interested in fishing. <br />thing is that you put the small fish in, you <br />them grow and then the people catch them and <br /> <br />The <br />let <br />take <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />
