You know, I should have realized that this would turn into a pissing match between Ron and Wes.
Anything involving nature in that area causes you two to argue. You're both very stubborn.
Carry on.

Yeah, it sucks always having to set that old goat straight. But hey, I learned some things about guns, so I figure I should return the favor.

You took the last one?!?!?!
I wonder if their decline has anything to do with the 150 foot drop in lake level over the last few decades. Nah, probably has something to do with Obama and poor management from TRPA.
Good thing we aren't studying the impacts of upstream water allocation. Stoopid government thinking they know how to balance the water needs of society and the environment. Really the best action for conservation is no action at all.

Never mind the LACK of snow nowdays.
Damn you TRPA! They've even altered the data, making it look like 1924-1978 were even drier!
Never mind that is the end of that river, therefore will always be the first to go in drying times.
Is that so? The first to go? Really? Because people who study hydrology know drought susceptibility is usually inversely correlated with contributing area. Sorry... "the bigger the watershed area, the less susceptible to drought." A terminal lake has the largest contributing area in the basin... by definition. It has to do with the fact that water flows down hill, draining high elevations first and pooling in lower elevations. I'm not saying it won't dry out first, I'm just saying the fact that it is at the end of the river is NOT the reason.
Want the rest of the story...
nah, I'm not much for fairy tales.
The TRPA doesn't hastle EdgeWood or Cal Trans the real culprits
Yes they do... and yes they are.

Oh, it sucks, trust me. In fact, it sucks even worse to visit up here. Trust me. Everyone is way better off staying in the bay area.
TRPA is stopping us from doing what we want to do on our property... but they are also stopping our neighbors from expanding their house.
It is funny when you follow your post with "Hopefully The whiners as well as the last of our retched species will have been long gone."

I'm in grad school, of course I'm miserable. Especially when I'm in front of a computer. IRL I'm one of the nicest, most pleasant people I know.

The worst part is you refuse to budge in your uneducated OPINIONS. As far as I can tell, one of two things are going on with you:
1) You know quite a bit. In which case, you are lazy sod who contributes very little of your potential to this world. What a shame.
2) What you think you know is in fact only what you believe and it is a fuzzy reflection of reality. In which case your contributions to the world of taxidermy are appreciated.
...among the researchers who found the first goldfish during a survey of invasive fish in the lake.
It doesn't say ever, does it? My buddy helped with the proposal that got their funding. He was always spewing about the huge gold fish in the keys. They obviously knew about them because they wrote a fuking grant to study them!

The asian carp invasion in Illinois and Indiana is for real. The Corps is trying like hell to keep them out of the Great Lakes but it's only a matter of time.

One good way to solve a lot of problems at Lake Tahoe is to raze the Keys and return that area as best we can to its natural state. What a fuggin' disaster.

Ron.. you are quoting a news story to prove that the researchers are stupid. Think about it. a news story. How often do news stories get it wrong? Eh.. Like Wes said, they wrote a grant proposal to study the problem. so obviously they knew about the goldfish in advance of the study. So when the news report said first goldfish found, they either got it wrong, or they didn't mean the first goldfish ever found, but the first one found during that study.

I remember that all the goldfish my kid had eventually croaked from some fuzzy white sh#t that turned them into puffballs.
Find out what that fuzzy sh#t was and lets clear the lake of these overgrown guppies of satan!
