Todd your serious! All this time I thought you were joking...wow

My point is this, instead of blaming the Indians, for what the WHITE man destroyed (Dams with no or shitty fish ladders, irrigation canals, fertilizers, pesticides, and raw sewage dumping) we should be celebrating the Indians achievements. The Indians have always netted Salmon on the Yakama, and always will. Besides back in the 80's new and improved fish ladder's we're built at each Dam not only on the Yak, but the Naches river, because it was only time before the Indians would get their Hatchery.
I don't expect people from the Seattle area to understand what magnitude this has to my area. But everyone down the Columbia river does. More opportunity to whack fish.

Oh, and that's probably 6,000 Springer's that survived out of the 20,000 to start with.
