RodeoProfessor @RodeoProfessor - An update on the Colorado billionaire trying to privatize a public river that’s also a gold medal fishing area and one of the most beautiful rivers in the West, the lower Blue.
>billionaire owner of 2000-acre ranch Blue Valley Acres, Paul Tudor Jones II, pushes hard for a land swap with the Bureau of Land Management. The public loses some nice fishing areas, billionaire owner benefits. He says he’ll build better access points to make the deal worthwhile, but begins retracting that part of the offer December 2025 saying there’s too many people on “his” river already.
>Jones runs a rainbow trout stocking and artificial feeding program with 20 lb rainbows that displace native trout. The stretch of the river is known to locals as “Jurassic Park.” These fed fish attract parasites and diseases due to artificial densities from the feeding program.
>Jones reports that what he sees as his private stretch of river has ecological problems related to too many members of the public having access to it.
>He begins a major campaign with decision makers in federal, state, and local government to implement a permit system to keep people off “his” river
>state agency fisheries biologists come to investigate his claims only to find that his private stocking and feeding program is what’s causing parasites, disease, mortality not public access to the river.
Even if you don’t live in that part of Colorado, there’s someone trying to privatize public land and water by you. The initial land swap was successful because people weren’t paying attention. Keep your eyes open for this type of unabashed greed.
