IDIOTS! A cunning way for the Utilities to conveniently slip the mitigation harness from their shoulders under the guise of helping the "Restoration" effort.

I used to be a Trout Unlimited member, but won't be renewing in part because of their support of this fiasco.

I'm all for Wild Steelhead and the protection of existing viable stocks. But this Cowlitz project, without removal of the dams and with no identifiable winter/spring natives other than hatchery strays, is a joke.

Sorry for the mini-rant, but IMO efforts like undermine the support for legitimate restoration efforts.

Tight Lines!
