A ridge overlooks the lower Klamath Basin, which farmers and conservationists said was like a scene reminiscent of the 1930s Dust Bowl. Growers are working with conservationists to provide habitat for migrating birds. The region will receive $3.8 million from the NRCS to use working ag land as a stopping point for migrating birds.

In a region fraught with conflict between farmers and environmentalists, some growers in the Klamath Basin are working with a wildlife group to provide habitat for migrating birds – and receiving a small amount of irrigation water in return.
The Tulelake Irrigation District is moving existing water from one drainage pond, or sump, in the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge to another to provide a deeper wetland for northern pintail and other waterfowl.
The Yurok Nation is warning of an unprecedented fish kill happening in the Klamath River, the likes of which will likely result in thousands of dead salmon.

May 27 In just a few weeks, California s water conditions have gone from bad to terrible.
Sacramento residents have been asked to cut water usage 10%. Their counterparts on the Russian River are being told to reduce their consumption 20%.
Farmers across the Central Valley are letting fields lie fallow and dismantling their orchards. Government agencies are warning of extensive fish kills on the Sacramento River.
After a warm spring dried up practically the entire Sierra Nevada snowpack and robbed California of enough water to fill most of Folsom Lake state and federal officials have been forced to dramatically ramp up their drought response plans.
The rockfish bite along the North Coast continues to be red-hot. Black rockfish, like these caught Sunday out of Crescent City, are making up the majority of the catch.
After sitting on the sidelines watching the wind blow for nearly two weeks, boats fishing out of Eureka were finally able to make their way to the halibut grounds Monday. The fishing was decent but the sample size was small as only a handful gave it a go. Gary Blasi of Full Throttle Sport Fishing landed on the hotspot and boated limits for his crew. The other boats all landed a few and reported some missed opportunities. Tuesday s flat ocean allowed more boats on the water and the fishing was pretty good. Limits were reported by multiple boats. The smaller ports to the north and south continue to benefit from short rides to the fishing grounds and have enjoyed some of the best rockfish action we ve seen in years. Strong winds are forecast to return Wednesday and blow through at least Saturday.
