I'd like to say one thing the majority of us who dredge are more conservationist than what you imagine we are we clean up after ourselves which is very little left in the water anything left we pull out tin cans aluminum cans sinkers that people throwing do you know people have fun Target practicing in the water they shook they throw bottles out there and they shoot a we picked it kind of jumped up and we throw it away where blond buckets tires all that stuff we take out of there the majority of us keep it clean and when it comes to seeing fish eggs and frog legs mad out there the majority of us go away from it we don't do anything near that because we don't want to hurt to Habitat because we like to fish too you know so this guy that got that sign must have been doing something really bad or he didn't care one of the few that don't care but I do don't think so I think he was just being picked on by the government and this idiot that came up from California to enforce this stuff this is Idaho this is not California we don't need Californians coming up here and telling us how to run our state.
A legitimate question here. How does running a small dredge harm fish? It seems as if it would provide food by unlocking debris held within the stream bed. Any help is appreciated. Also, isn't the bed turned up and over during high flow rates anyway?
Damn you guys are getting flamed, mercury is a concern for river quality right? It being almost as heavy as gold means finding and recovering mercury from the river as well, by definition leaving the river with less mercury than before. You can’t argue with facts liberals you just can’t, they claim turbidity is another issue. By the next rain season you would have no idea a dredge was there
The permit cost is 150$? All it takes. Yeah! Just read about the fish! If endangered fish exist in the river no dredge. I think there needs to be consideration for the wildlife. If you go through all the trouble of alchemy. It’s best to play by the rules.
Fuck you and your rules liberal, dredges remove mercury, lead and other heavy toxic metals from the river by definition leaving it cleaner than before, another attempt at controlling the lives of others

One more thing I forgot to say it and I keep saying we follow the rules we don't pollute is bad as what everybody thinks we do we follow the rules
The fine they gave to this men is way out of proportion to anr perceived crimes.
They rarely ever issue those permits and I like how comments are being hidden

I'd doesn't it like you said it provides food for the fish to eat an not only that but it cleans all heavy metals out of the stream bed too
Dredging silts down stream and affects the insect hatches, which then affects the fish.
Why ? What did he hurt, oh wait the state didnt get its pound of flesh

100%
Eff government overreach!
That's not what "begs the question," means. You can say "raises the question," but "begs the question," means something entirely unrelated.

Why hide the comments?
Because Liberals LOVE censorship. Their existence depends on it. Free speech is Kryptonite to a Liberal.
Because Idaho conservation idiots knows there full of shit
So much for the laand of the free a when they dictate what you can an can't do.
The permits are impossible to get. So it’s a back door ban on small scale mining. Wich is legal according to the constitution
The rivers are full of mercury! Thats ok ? Right ?
Its are right to mine we need to ban together
How does paying the system $ save this fish?
It doesn't save the fish, it lines their pockets and makes them rich. They are Marxist.
They want there cut
They even lied on the fine 🤔
Y’all must be bored to be messing with folks enjoying family fun. Just have a website you can make a direct payment. Bungholes!
