Thanks again for the info. I am sure you are spot on in your statement but I guess that my question to you should have been; Will we be seeing tribal nets and anglers in the river soon after the removal of the dams? I wouldnt expect that ocean harvesting practices to change (although that would be nice)but I would like to see a NO FISHING of any kind in the river itself for at least 50 years to try to protect anyfish that may happen to survive the ocean and make it into the river itself. As a sportsman i am willing to never fish the river again in my lifetime.
If we spend the money and do this right I would be perfectly happy to watch this experiment unfold for the rest of my years. No hatcheries,no sportfishing and no tribal. Now that might make the whole project worthwhile but then again I wont hold my breath.
