Salmo, I'm glad to see your posts here again.

The only problem I can see with Cohoanglers scenario is where adding the number of hatchery fish to the number of wild fish would come up with a total that would suggest that de-listing the whole run was appropriate. Now, I don't know if there are any runs where this would have a possibility of happening. Also I have never heard of any numbers that would define recovery to the extent of de-listing, so maybe this is a moot point.

Some where I read that Lohn came from some executive position in a large seafood processing co. Is this true? If so, it sounds like the fox guarding the hen house.

One more guestion, not to get off the subject,but, a while back there was a thread about the flows coming from the PSE dams on the Baker River. You said you were concerned about the daily fluctuation in the river level and it's effect on steelhead smolts that were in the system. My question is, how do these fluctuations adversly effect these fish? I can see this washing out reds, but I don't know what it would do to fish already free swimming in the current. Could you explain this for me? Thanks.
