The Delta Ponds are a total fiasco with money literally poured down a hole by the Army Corps of Engineers and the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Department.  Vegetation covers what water is left over each summer from a poorly drained series of ponds meant to provide beautiful areas of bountiful wildlife and healthy fish populations.  A total failure without any explanation by these old time departments that often do more harm than good.  And, Fish and Wildlife continually raise license fees each year ...for what?  The Delta Ponds Project needs a total reconstruction.  If Texas can make a series of manmade lakes that add beauty, wildlife presence, and outstanding fishing areas, what's the problem with Oregon. Time to go back to the drawing board and create something that works.
