Steely--I know that you are pro dam removal. But what are the numbers of smolts killed by the dams if that is where we are loosing so many fish. I think that we need to look at water quality. There are so many issues in water quality, water run off from logging, poor irrigation from farming, poor screening in farming, poor laws that protect instream run off, and so on. Then we need to fix the small diversion dams that have no fish passage. I know of several that are being removed in Washington that will open up new areas for spawing.----you that there is very little premium spawing areas let in most river systems. I understant your point but there are many areas that we can fix that are not as costly as removing a dam or two.---------fish on!
