The frog habitat restoration through termination of trout restocking is only part of the story in Emigrant. The final (?) ruling after many years of arguing calls for all of Fred Leighton's check dams to be unmaintained, meaning they will eventually breach and the year-long streamflow (and enhanced spawning grounds) will revert to their natural state. In addition, some individuals have decided to expedite the process; tool marks evident on Emigrant dam (and others, I've read) indicate efforts to actively remove them quicker than the mandated allowance of natural decay of the structures.
