Just about every trib. on the Columbia on the Columbia will be a snagfest, and it's not just the tribal members doing it. Drop yourself into the canyon on the Wind river next month if you want to see a snagfest. With 42,000 fish expected to return, it will be a snagger's wet dream. Then, these goons won't even toss their fish's guts and carcass back into the river, so you get big pools of water cut into the rock all full of rotten fish guts and blood.......nice.

That canyon is a gorgeous piece of earth, with ripping whitewater raging through a huge bouldery canyon. It's pretty disappointing to see what happens to it when the hordes of fishermen (I use that term loosely in some cases) descend into the canyon during springer time.

It's kind of a poor reflection upon all of us when this sort of thing happens, and it makes it hard for me to bag on the tribes too much for what they're doing. I think I might just have to let Superfly wail on those Wind river springers for me. You'll spank a few for me, won't you Joe?
