"Hood likened the generation periods to “flushing the toilet” every few days. Southwest Power Adminstration said it will try to run two turbines at half-power to help the fishery, but to Hood’s knowledge it hasn’t happened.

“It’s a problem that can be solved by putting pressure on the government,” Hood said.

“The only way we can fix this problem is by writing to our congressmen. Dan Boren’s email box should be full right now.”

A federal issue, concerned sportsmen and women can contact Boren at (202) 255-2701. Boren’s website is http://boren.house.gov.

Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe, the ranking member on the Environmental Committee, can be reached at (202) 224-4721. His website is http://inhofe.senate.gov.

Without constant flows, Oklahoma’s first year-round trout fishery will soon be history."
