I noticed they are doing alot of brush clearing and replanting on Haskell slough right now also. Nice to see some habitat being restored in the lower valley. The lake on Bob Heirman Park is supposedly one of the few micro climates left that snow geese prefer. Im sure there are some big resident cutts in there also. I hope they come to a compromise, like partially breaching the lake to allow enough stil water for the geese and leaving a good place for juvinile fish to flourish.

In bad flood years these sloughs will be critical in having future salmon seasons. I bet next humpie season on the Sno will be a no-go(oh darn). If we had enough flood sactuaries this might not be an issue...
