Cachuma Lake on Sunday
If you care about our local Steelies start with all the watersheds in Goleta and Santa Barbara. We used to catch them in San Jose creek and others when we were kids. All that water is tapped upstream for water to irrigate or well for drinking so don't expect to see one in those south co creeks. We were careful not to make them bleed since they are Hemophiliacs. The few we did cause to bleed, were eaten. Not Salmon but pretty good.

I didn't hear about it this year but ,I think it was 4-20,21 of this year so already over. Wonder if you could use pot gummies for bait. I guess no planting this year. Triploids can't breed with the Steelies. If the want to help the Steelies get a hold in that lake, your gonna have quite the challenge getting permission to kill all the Nonlocals - Bass, Perch etc in the Santa Ynez River watershed.

LOL no, BASIC. You were ONLY complaining about the DFW worrying about them breeding. Read your own words again: "They were shafted by the CA DFW and US Fish and Wildlife managers who apparently feel that stocked trout can get washed over the spillway and interbreed with native steelhead." "The stocker trout are infertile. They are bred that way. It’s a thing. Hence the lack of thought involved in the decision. The steelhead cannot interbreed with these stocked trout." Despite your fixation on breeding, there are multiple VALID reasons to protect those endangered fish. Simple stuff, "Doc USFS" You're "way ahead of" nothing but your own backpedaling.

BASIC - I'm curious, you say I need to expand my "intellectual efforts." OK, so what exactly are you referring to here, Doc?
Cachuma Lake on Sunday
Yes, they’re concerned about planted trout spilling over. I didn’t feel the need to explain that too. Way ahead of you. Have a nice day Sack.

BASIC - it's not about the reservoir (Lake Cachuma), it's about the endangered steelhead downstream from the dam in the Santa Ynez river. Just because you don't understand the science (it's honestly common sense though), doesn't mean it doesn't exist. As a biology major, I'm surprised you don't understand this. And the Trout Derby wasn't cancelled, so spare the whole "first fish" thing. If you're running out of things to complain about, I can send you a list.

Not always. More importantly though, it's not just about breading with the steelhead, it's about preserving their habitat and reducing competition for food or even preying on fingerling steelhead. Pretty great that the DFW puts the thought and care into this to preserve our endangered steelhead.

What I've gathered from the County permit lookup system is it is still not complete. They amended their plan to include two phases (phase 1 is growing it, phase 2 is processing it on site.) It sounds like the building side of everything might have been a little more than they anticipated and looks like they want to grow then ship it off site to be processed. Of course this is just my interpretation after reading the updates via Accela. There shouldn't be any cannabis up that canyon as of right now.

SB and Goleta are getting absolutely worse in terms of traffic, congestion around town, road repair, sitting at lights forever. It’s gotten so bad in the past few years compared to how it was even 10 years ago. But hey, if you want LA you can make it here. There used to be a slow-growth philosophy here. Some folks remember that. It’s was a good thing. King Newsom and those who support him in their efforts to build like crazy are at fault. Pure and simple. Can’t wait til that clown gets kicked to the road. Total slime-ball hypocrite. He’s screwing over the Delta too with his tunnels, which will divert massive amounts of water towards LA. Check it out.

GOLETA.OBSERVER - have you been following that whole process? I haven't heard much about it lately. Was it ever approved? I don't smell anything differently when I walk my dogs down into the canyon.

The pot farmers are under a lot of downward price pressure do to the glut in the market. But that should not be a reason to allow the stench to continue. The county should not mandate a particular product to be used but instead mandate a maximum odor in the air. IF there is going to be another study the outcome should be to set an appropriate maximum odor and how it will be measured.

I tried getting a meeting with Hartmann when that outdoor grow in Winchester Canyon was getting approved to show her the area and how it would be negatively impacted by that particular outdoor grow. I never got a call back. I don't believe she really gives a hoot about how its impacting the public.
Cachuma Lake on Sunday
ANON - agreed. Weird that a former USFS employee and supposed outdoor buff wouldn't appreciate the effort to preserve an endangered species. Honestly, one of the strangest people I've come across. A doctor who, not only opposes pandemic health measures, but insults and belittles those who use them. A captain who doesn't know what an artificial reef is. A forest service worker who is ambivalent about endangered species. A true conundrum!
The City of Santa Barbara to Host Six Community Town Halls
Appreciate that the City is holding town hall meetings. Wish the school district would do that with their current budget so we stop hemorrhaging teachers, classified, para educators.

Newsom is the convenient face of the state mandates, but he could not possibly impose them on his own. Moreover, if he were gone tomorrow, the mandates would continue. Blame Newsom if that seems simpler to you, but your votes for your state legislators are what can end the madness. Our Assemblyperson and State Senator have consistently voted for the legislation that the governor signs.
