I'm new to this board. Have been advocating live trapping on another board with zero response. It really lightens my heart to read of so much support here. Sorry to say just talking won't make it happen but it has to start somewhere.
I hadn't learned of the floating live trap study until today glad to see someone at least looking into it. My version of trapping would be to modify the ladders at the dams and share dollars with Indian and non Indian based on treaty rights and historic landings by individual commercials.Tributaries down river could be harvested in the same manner mostly using existing hatchery traps.
What a shot in the arm this could be to ESA fish and non-targeted fish and wildlife not to mention a viable unprecedented sport fishery on the Columbia!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the chance to express my thoughts. Jim
