Title: Looks like Laos pressing ahead on the Mekong??

"Laos to press ahead with 'destructive' new dam on Mekong"

Villagers along the Mekong River in Laos and Thailand say their fish catch has dwindled as dams have come online

Environmentalists have criticised Laos for pressing ahead with plans for another "destructive dam" on the Mekong River, a waterway already strangled by hydropower schemes.

The flow of the Mekong, Southeast Asia's longest river, is interrupted by a cascade of dams in China -- where it is called the Lancang.

I wouldn't fish the Mekong. I would fish the streams on the mountains and valleys in Laos. There are cleaner fishes in those rivers and streams.
