I'll agree the taste is very bad and has been felt by those up river every year, after year, after year. No worries because Washington and Oregon have a very good record of focking things up. I have no doubt they will continue the trend.

I don't consider these my fish or yours. This resource belongs to everybody. It's taken how many years for the powers to be to figure out that setting quotas based on a estimate just isn't working? The lower river fisherman have had it easy. I've fished it many times from B10 to the headwaters of the snake. I do think that opening a little more river would ease the congestion but it doesn't look like it's going happen for now. No worries if the estimated numbers pan out. You will have a chance to fish your favorite spot "aka staging area" below the dam.
