The dams "ARE" the problem... Grand Rhonde fish or whatever... The fish don't get to the Ocean so how can they ever come back. The problem with the Coho is related to commercial fishing. The Indian fishery "if you can call it that" is B.S- I don't think it was a tradition to pull into the albertsons store, pick up a case of Keystone and head down to the river with the boat and string a gill net across it. The port of Lewiston.. thats crap also. They money they lose..which is little would be more than made up in dollars generated by healthy fish runs. To say that you would not be able to afford a GLOOMIS rod because your power bill went up??? whats that??? All the talk, all the studys. If Idaho loses these fish it will impact Oregon and Washington as well.
