I talked with someone just the other day that had to leave that area because he was waiting on the dam removal...he said that it kept getting pushed back an he finally had to move on to another project...his daugter i think is working on it now..i belive that he said the main reason is that they were going to remove the lower dam first and then the upper dam after (or vise virsa) and then they switched to the oppisite....now i belive that he said that they were going to do them at the same time...but kinda neat (if you are into this enviromental suff) i have not fished here so i dont know...but he said that the rocks in the area are all very flat...he said that there is not a lot of sediment in this river which is a problem for the salmon...he said that when they do take the dams out all of the sediment and the rocks are all flat(kinda like a halibut)...so that means that the sediment will travel a lot farther than they projected which in turn will be a good thing...it was interesting to me...but i am easily amused if it has to do with rivers or fishing...hahhaha...c
