With rotenone, there’s always a fight.This is our best seller for a reason. “Our first treatments may rekindle angst, so we’ll need to continue with educational efforts,” said ecologist Boiano. Rotenone use will begin shortly in 33 lakes. Still, some anglers remain ecologically challenged, knifing float tubes and removing and damaging gillnets. He added that the “Sierra should not be managed like a pee-wee golf course.” And this from the Native Fish Society: “Each high-mountain lake is a beautiful and unique place and is appreciated for what it is. His message: “I would much rather leave a legacy of as natural an ecosystem as possible, rather than an artificial and synthetic landscape designed for the amusement of certain enthusiasts - including myself.” Ralph Cutter, who runs a guide service and fly-fishing school, understands what’s at stake even though his livelihood depends on the alien trout. They’re seeing huge hatches of aquatic insects along with a resurgence of birds. In all 16 gillnetted lakes, he and aquatic ecologist Laura Van Vranken report spectacular recovery of frogs as well as frog predators such as coyotes, Couch’s and mountain garter snakes, and northern water shrews. “Once insects and frogs explode, everything reacts,” said Danny Boiano, the parks’ supervisory ecologist. Just three years later, there were 4,000 frogs and 14,800 tadpoles. Before eradication, surveys of two lakes revealed 134 mountain yellow-legged frogs and 53 tadpoles. Rotenone, it had testified, might harm mountain yellow-legged frogs - which don’t even exist in Paiute-cutthroat habitat.Īfter 2016, the opposition fell silent, and in 16 lakes cleared of trout with gillnets, ecosystems reawakened. No rat developed the disease, just Parkinson’s-like tremors.Įlsewhere in the Sierra, Wilderness Watch had litigated against, and dangerously delayed, rotenone treatment to save native Paiute cutthroat trout that were being hybridized off the planet by alien rainbow trout.

Concentrated rotenone was pumped into rats’ veins for five weeks. The myth derives from an Emory University study designed to create Parkinson’s-like symptoms, not the disease itself. Still, many opponents echoed Wilderness Watch’s false assertion that rotenone is “linked” to Parkinson’s disease. “Poison has no place in wilderness,” it proclaims, wherever rotenone treatments are planned in wilderness.īut the Wilderness Act explicitly provides for the use of poisons to eradicate alien species.

Leading the charge against frog recovery via rotenone, and even gillnets, was the environmental group Wilderness Watch. When the environmental review process for frog recovery in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks was completed in 2016, it generated plenty of support from environmental and angling communities. And Terry Swofford, chair of the Plumas County Board of Supervisors, declared, “To me, this is just another way of destroying our economy.”

Does anyone really care?” editorialized Feather Publishing in its six newspapers. “If the yellow-legged frog disappears, would anyone notice? Seriously. Rotenone only affects gill tissue.īut as early as 2008, numerous anglers, media and local politicians were throwing hissy fits about an effort to protect mountain yellow-legged frogs merely by suspending trout stocking in 175 waters within national forests. For centuries, Indigenous peoples have used high concentrations to kill fish for consumption. In modern fisheries management, rotenone has never been seen to permanently affect a native ecosystem except to restore it. But in 33 lakes, the only option was rotenone, a short-lived, organic fish poison derived from plant roots and applied at 100 parts per billion.
