40+ years, I've watched the politics of the Elwa......I'm glad that the dams are about to be gone.

There is another in Grays Harbor, that I wish would have never been built, and that was done in the early 70's........really nice that we have 27+ miles of river that can't be fished basically during salmon season........grrrrrrrrr No hatchery Coho, Chum, or Chinook but still the numbers of "wild return" are down. Wild steelhead numbers are also way down but still there is a QIN netting season.....December 1 - March, April or later.........So don't talk to me about natural fish bounce back, without changes in tribal methods....
