Environmental groups and irrigation districts are working to bring more salmon back in the Tuolumne River near Modesto.

CA Assemblyman Adam Gray is not happy with the State Water Board's Proposal to take 40 percent of the Tuolumne River to increase flows in the Sacramento Delta for endangered species protection, which has not helped the species over the last five years.
