From the Tehama Daily News:

Lake Red Bluff made its entrance early Monday morning for what is likely the third to last time. Gates at the Red Bluff Diversion Dam were lowered shortly after midnight Monday and the lake filled enough for boaters to launch from Red Bluff River Park around 10 a.m.

Concern over the dam’s impact on migrating salmon have prompted federal judge Oliver Wanger, in Fresno, to determine the dam does impact the fish, some of which are endangered, and order the dam no longer be used by the Bureau of Reclamation to fill diversion canals managed by the Tehama-Colusa Canal Authority.
