    http://www.mtshasta.com

    This past week has been fantastic! Lots of sun and great summer like weather makes fly fishing productive on the Upper Sacramento River.


    http://www.mtshasta.com

    As the edges expose themselves to us in the raft we can fish as we go by or I can tie up the raft upstream and we can walk down and fish from shore wading.

    You remember Kobe Beef from last season the dog we saved from being sent to the dog pound. Well the dilemma was when I left for Chile what would happen with the dog? I wrote about it on the mtshasta.com web site and my past client Howard Nestell, from Elaine’s Pet Resort’s in Fresno, California put Kobe Beef up for a few guide trips. What a great thing that was for Kobe, that dog deserves a good life and a home just like we all do. (At least all of us good dogs out there!) I think for sure if we didn’t work together and find a solution a very fine dog would not be with us now. Ever since Kobe Beef came back to live in Shasta in May he has been so well behaved, almost like a completely different dog.

    After a very long time apart in the past 3 years I can see clearly now my future with my wife in California and in Chile. We just needed to keep wiping the foggy mirror the United States Immigration kept making for us with 3 different government departments just to get Carola a Visa to enter the USA and we’ve been married for almost 2 years. (Immigration Reform needs a big time head examination. Folks who have started businesses in 2 countries would be better served not standing in line and waiting for months separated, waiting on too many disfunctional Government departments. ) Pathetic is the only word I can use to describe this process we have just gone through. But we finally made it! JT & CT

    Plan for Hydroelectric Dam in Patagonia

    Outrages Chileans

    By 
    Published: June 16, 2011

    SANTIAGO, Chile — A white gas mask hanging from her neck, Paula Bañados strode side by side with 30,000 other marchers through this capital one recent Friday, a determined look on her face.
    Tomas Munita for The New York Times

    Protesting last month in Santiago, Chile. Government approval of a plan for a dam in a pristine part of the country has brought thousands to the streets.

    “Patagonia without dams!” Ms. Bañados, 19, shouted with the others, pumping a fist in the air.

    “The government is saying we will be left without energy, but it’s a lie,” she said. “They are just trying to scare us. But we won’t be scared away, because we know we’re right.”

    By the time Ms. Bañados reached Chile’s presidential palace, some demonstrators had begun hurling stones and pieces of wood at the armored police vehicles. As sirens blared, the police responded by firing water cannons on the crowd, driving protesters back.

    Other protests took place in several more Chilean cities. In what has become a surprising national movement, organizers have mounted large protests for several weeks since a government environmental commission in May approved the $3.2 billion HidroAysén dam complex in a pristine region of Patagonia, known for breathtaking glaciers and lakes, that draws thousands of tourists a year.

    The protest movement, which has resulted in 28 police officers’ being injured and more than $100,000 in damage to public property, has rattled the government of PresidentSebastián Piñera. His approval rating fell to 36 percent in May from 41 percent in April, in part because of the outcry over HidroAysén, according to Adimark, a Santiago-based research group.

    While the government supports expanding hydroelectric power production, more than 60 percent of Chileans are against HidroAysén, polls show. After the commission’s decision, now the fight turns to the 1,912-kilometer (about 1,200-mile) transmission line yet to be approved. Many Chileans consider Patagonia a national treasure, and the battle to stop the project has inspired people to join the anti-dam cause to an extent that other environmental protest movements in South America have not.

    HidroAysén is an especially tense subject in Chile because the country, more than its neighbors, is struggling to secure energy supplies to keep up with its economic growth. Chile will need to double its electricity capacity generation over the next 10 to 15 years, according to government officials and private energy analysts.

    Chile has little oil or natural gas of its own. Importing gas became unreliable after Argentina began reneging on its commitments to ship gas to its neighbor starting in 2004. After the earthquake in Japan this year, Chile’s mining and energy minister, Laurence Golborne, said it would be “very difficult” now to build a nuclear plant, given fears that the quake raised about Chile’s own earthquake-prone geology.

    Government officials say more energy is needed to raise the economic level of poorer Chileans, and to lower electricity prices, which in southern Chile average about twice those in Brazil.

    More energy also will be needed to expand Chile’s mining sector — the engine of Chile’s economy, said James Brick, an analyst with Wood Mackenzie, an energy consultancy.

    Brazil has embraced hydroelectric power, which produces about 80 percent of the country’s electricity. Chile produces about 40 percent of its energy from hydroelectric power. But HidroAysén, a planned complex of five dams on two rivers, would produce 18,430 gigawatts a year, which was about 35 percent of Chile’s total consumption in 2008. It would also flood a large part of a region dominated by national parks and reserves, say people opposed to the dams.

    “This project is the tip of the spear to convert our Patagonia into a true service patio for energy generation,” said Luis Rendón, coordinator of Acción Ecológica, an environmental group.

    Those opposing the dams say the government should focus on improving energy efficiency and boosting capacity for nonconventional renewable fuels like wind, solar andgeothermal power.

    “Compared to Brazil or Argentina, Chile is doing very little to incentivize renewables,” said Roberto Román, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Chile. “In 5 to 10 years, solar options will be cheaper than HidroAysén.”

    Chilean Court Blocks Plan for Patagonia

    Dam Project

    By
    Published: June 20, 2011

    A Chilean appeals court on Monday suspended a plan to build five dams and hydroelectric plants in the country’s Patagonia region.
    The court ruling came in response to actions filed by environmental groups and legislators arguing that the government commission that approved the $3.2 billion dam project last month had not taken into account a technical review.

    The ruling temporarily halts the government’s approval process for the project, which set off large protests around the country in recent weeks.

    Opponents applauded the ruling, hoping it was a step toward scuttling it altogether.

    Amanda W. Maxwell, Latin America advocate for the Natural Resources Defense Council, based in New York, said the ruling was significant because the court was “the first authority in Chile to stand up to the behemoth project and to the intense political pressure to get it built.” She said the ruling indicated that the court “values the rule of law over private business interests, and sees no need to rush to build the dams.”

    A lawyer for the project, Mario Galindo, told the Chilean newspaper La Tercera that the decision would do nothing to stop it. The ruling was “purely formal,” he said, “and there are no decisions about the legality or illegality” of the dam complex.

    The HidroAysén project, proposed by an Italian-Spanish company, Endesa, and a Chilean company, Colbún, would build five facilities that would generate 2,750 megawatts of electricity. The energy would travel to Santiago over a 1,200-mile transmission line that has yet to be approved.

    Critics contend that the project is environmentally destructive and unnecessary, and that Chile should focus on developing forms of renewable energy like wind and solar. The complex would be built in a region of Patagonia known for breathtaking glaciers and lakes that draws thousands of tourists a year.

    But Chile, more than any of its neighbors in Latin America, is struggling to secure energy supplies to keep up with its economic growth. The country will need to double its capacity to generate electricity over the next 10 to 15 years, according to government projections.

    Chile has little oil or natural gas of its own. Importing gas from Argentina has been unreliable, and the earthquake that damaged nuclear reactors in Japan this year has rendered building one in Chile unlikely, given its propensity for earthquakes.

    A version of this article appeared in print on June 21, 2011, on page A11 of the New York edition with the headline: Chilean Court Blocks Plan For Patagonia Dam Project.

    I will be staying in Weaverville for four nights August 1 to 3Rd and would like to get cost for a trip. It will be just myself and really just want to either float or a wade in trip. I have never been to this area of California before. I am in good shape and fly fished many times, but being from Ohio fly fishing opportunities are rather limited.

    Thanks, Mike Jones

    Hello Jack

    Always enjoy your Emails.

    One that disturbed me was concerning the damning of 5 rivers in Chile. The Chilean people should get in touch with New Zealand as they went through a similar situation a few years ago where the government wanted to build dams in the fiord district. The people won and the land is still intact.

    Where do you fish in Belize. I was in Placentia this spring. We stayed out on a Caye and fished tarpon and permit. Would like to explore another area.

    Hope we can do some fishing together in the near future.

    Cheers

    Top o the morning to ya Jack & Carola,

    Twas a fun conversation on the phone yesterday. Thanks for returning my
    call. You definitely got me all excited about our trip this winter.

    Robin and I live in Vancouver Washington, just outside of Portland Oregon
    and we live here because we are blessed with an abundance of rivers, lakes,
    mountains, high desert, and the wonderful ocean to entertain us year round.
    We’d rather live nowhere else…..except possibly the grand land of Chile.
    This will be our first trip to Chile and from everything we have uncovered
    about it reminds us of our homeland. Time to stop looking and hop aboard a
    plane and touch it. That’s just what we are going to do and we are excited
    to have you initiate us into your beautiful country.

    Your website is really good, we have enjoyed your Blogs. Fishing is
    obviously in your veins. I too enjoy fishing but this trip is not just about
    fish. We want to immerse ourselves in the culture and the country of Chile
    and what better way to discover the place than to go where the fish are.
    That’s where people are really living life fully. We would like to hook-up
    with you first, get settled in with one of your adventures, then take off on
    our own armed with some of your ideas of things to do, places to go, things
    to see. Possibly even hook-up with you again later in the trip. It’s all
    wide open at this point, we are just putting this trip together and any help
    with the rudder steering us in the right direction would be much
    appreciated. If Chile is half of what I think of it now, we may not go home.
    Well I suppose we’d have to on this trip but I have serious dreams of making
    Chile my home.

    Robin and I own and operate a RV storage facility in our town so we get all
    the latest and greatest places to go around here as part of our job too,
    which is pretty cool.

    Please stay in touch. Look forward to meeting with you. In fact it would be
    nice to shake your hand, maybe buy you a beer in Shasta before you head
    south this year. We drive to the San Francisco area for family and we could
    stop by on our way thru. Just let us know the best times and we’ll make it
    happen.

    Be well and keep your line wet,

    Joe Pedron

    p.s. Ray Gibson and Norman Welthagen store their RV with us year round and
    turned us on to you. They’re really fun people. FYI – Norman likes his
    beer and he prefers Coors. Have fun convincing him to release his fish.

    Hi Jack,

    We were just thinking of you this morning. We are leaving for Dunsmuir Saturday morning and will be staying in Rivendale on of the Cave Springs house rentals. I know that cell phone coverage and internet are not wonderful in this area so we need to arrange where and what time we will be meeting on Sunday in advance just in case you can’t reach us. Also where is the fishing good that we should try without you on Saturday late afternoon and evening and on Monday morning? We will be bringing a keyak and were thinking of Castle lake or maybe Gumboot. We can also do river wading.
    Thanks,
    Jennifer

    Dear Jack:

    My wife and I are organizing a bird photography trip to Ecuador and
    would like to tie it together with a fishing trip to Chili. I’m a
    fly fisherman from B.C. and want to experience Chilean trout fishing
    spending about a week or so. We plan to visit Ecuador sometime
    between Jan and March 2012. Could you give us some rates and optimum
    times for such a trip to Chili?

    Best regards,

    Bob Olafson
