Bob All 3,
This is a hot issue on the Sandy river right now. The problem is, it takes a lot of money to put in a fish weir. I've talked to several Oregon fisheries biologists who believe it's eventually going to come down to certain rivers managed for brats, other rivers managed for natives. I'm skeptical if there's another solution that would be acceptable to all the competing parties.
Coming soon to a river near you......A knockdown, dragout fight over "To brat, or not to brat; That is the question!" wink
