One point that may be being missed here is: Are there in fact any really wild fish left in the snake river system. There are a lot of people, biologists included, who feel that as a result of many years of hatchery augmenting of various runs, that there are no truly wild fish left. If that is the case, we are proposing spending a huge amount of money, and economically hurting a lot of people, for the wrong reasons. Just a thought to consider. I might add, there is some argument on this point, and I am not aware that any real conclusion has been reached.
