Look, I'm not even against taking the dams out. But it has to be done as the result of sound scientific study that CLEARLY says that this is THE way to get the fish back. There is no real evidence that this will work. Yes, there have been many studies done, using smolt passage formulas developed in the early 70's, but neither the corp or NMFS will guarantee this will work. Ask them about the 400 million cubic yards of sediment built up behind the dams. Ask them what that will do to the water quality for the fish we are trying to save. How many years will this brown cloud of crap wash down the river? We are about to spend 10 BILLION dollars to tear out the dams because the feds think that it MIGHT work. How about banning all fishing(commercial, indian, AND recreational) for one year. Then, go back to the way things are now for 3 years. The 4th year, you ban all fishing again, only for the year. Pay all the commercials and indians not to fish those two years. It would cost a small fraction of 10 billion dollars to do it. Care to guess how many fish would return that 4th year? That would solve once and for all whether it's the dams, or the nets. I know where I would put my money. Just a thought....
