How many runs of true Native salmon are there left in the Columbia River??

Excelent question. kiss is exactly right. I was golfing a couple of years ago and I got paired up with a fisheries biologist. He told me that on some systems the native stock was wiped out a long time ago because there were dams on the riveres that allowed zero fish passage. He told me that the "native" fish on some rivers were produced in a hatchery.
