WSJ Anti-rotenone Article

I posted this on our fly fishing message board (http://www.wisflyfishing.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl) and even there I had folks expressing sympathy for Ann's pseudo-science. What I'm looking for are links to some case studies of rotenone treated, restored streams to repost on our site.  Thanks.

How depressing!

Ann and Nancy and their chemophobe sycophants spread this BS and the ecologically illiterate public and media just suck it up.  There are hundreds of highly successful fish restoration projects that have been made possible by rotenone and antimycin (no longer being made, alas).  Here are just a few.  Google them for the biologists you should interview.  I’ve written about most of these:

Apache Trout

Appalachian Brook Trout

Blueback trout

Golden Trout

Greenback Cutthroat (possibly the greatest success story of the Endangered Species Act)

Gila Trout

Bonneville cutthroat

Westslope cutthroat

Yellowstone cutthroat

Bull Trout

Colorado River cutthroat

Lahontan cutthroat

Rio Grande cutthroat

Paiute cutthroat (If not for post rotenone use we wouldn’t have any Paiute’s left to argue about with idiots.)

Steelhead trout

Chinook salmon

coho salmon

(and, I have no doubt, the other three Pacific salmon).
