Well the govmint gave the farmers the right to the water long before we got here. That's an argument that is tough all around. The only way to fight water rights is to have an ESA or Treaty to protect the fishes rights. Short of that no one has ever won. Still when you look at mismanaged Rivers such as the Henry's Fork above Mesa Falls you can thank your local politician for lots of small meaningless fish. ![[Image: bobwink.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/bobwink.gif)
