Thank you I will. I really don't care about the Sandy river or any other river. My posting was about the Cowlitz run and the Tribal involvment in trying to restore it before it is too late.Any time they do a "study" to prove it has nothing to do with thier dams I get suspicious. Like I said , I grew up on the Cowlitz system and you would never believe the amount of spring,summer and fall chinook in the rivers including the Cispus and Cowlitz above Packwood or the giant runs of steelhead and coho in the Tilton that they destroyed by not putting in fish ladders.Go ahead and stick up for them, it makes no difference to me. It has been even more down hill when some genious came up with the idea that by having a huge run of hatchery coho the total of all runs could be divided out to meet the escapement goals they agreed to in the licensing process. I wish I had kept some of the old articles that supported this fact. Now I'm just another old idiot who has a grudge with them. Anything that has to do with water levels,flows and fish runs has to be negotiated with them to get them to meet the goals they agreed to years ago. I went to a meeting here in Chehalis many years ago when there was talk of letting the commercials net the lower river. Luckily it was met with much resistance and failed. I asked a representative of Tacoma Power if we would have to take them to court to get them to live up to the goals and was told point blank "you better have a lot of money because we do". I have been against them ever since and always will be as long as the dams are in the river.
