I don't have strong feelings one way or the other about failing to clip some of the factory fish, but I do have a question about reviving a wild run on the Cowlitz:

Assume a significant number of truly wild fish head up the Cowlitz, where will they spawn? Won't they just hit the Barrier Dam, veer off to the fish ladder, and end up in the separators?? Then what?

I understand that some fish are being trucked to the upper Cowlitz, but is that the only way to keep the wild run going--to drive them in trucks? Seems a little odd to me.

Anybody got any insight or deep thoughts that would clear this up?
