While I would truly love to see big returns of wild fish to this region, some issues need to be explored. We don't yet know what impact some quick fix help may have. For example: Getting rid of the hundreds of gill nets on the Columbia, the tern problem, and comercial fishing off the mouth of the Columbia. And I agree, Why not the Columbia river dams also. Do they feel that would impact too many people? Its not like a lot of fish are making it to Ice Harbor Dam ( the first snake river dam ) and getting no further. Another point to consider is what is 40 years of silt going to do to the Columbia, and how long do you think it will take to ever clear again? If I really was convinced that breaching the dams would restore the fish runs, I would say Go for it, but I am not convinced. This should have been done 20 years ago before so many fish runs were too far gone. We better love our hatchery system and leave an already depressed area alone. Also Dino, call me and we'll go fishing soon.
