In 2025 we’ll be pushing regulators @CaWaterBoards
to consider water availability and flow standards for the LSR! Fish used to live this spring fed mountain river that is lined with riparian vegetation all the way up to over 6000’ elevation.

Recent rain on snow events ramped the flow up and the LSR began to come out of its incised banks. Looking west from Harry Cash Road.

Little attention is being given to this once important salmon stream and money continues to be spent with nothing but water diversion infrastructure to show for it. Pic of fish from the LSR in the early 1900’s.

Every summer, the LSR disconnects from the Shasta and dries up due to legal and illegal surface water diversions and groundwater extraction.
