Thats cool Reel Truth. You know and understand the Stanley basin. Did you or the rest of you know that the Salmon river is the longest un-damned river in the lower 48??? Do you know why they called it the Salmon river??? Not because they found Chalupas in it 200 years ago !!!! This is the Salmon in Idaho not the little creek in Wa. state. Stanley is going to get maybe 300 fish this summer.. And these will be hatchery fish. 20 to 30 years ago (pre lower snake damns) the river and its tribs got 1000's of fish. The thing I don't really understand is the fact that the folks in Oregon and Washington and even the gov in Idaho don't realize that they killed the columbia salmon runs when they built those 4 damns... People bitch about rape out in the ocean by commercial fisherman.. Well do the math.. The Idaho fish made up 1/3 of all the Salmon in the north west so guess what??? They are gone and now they are after yours... We have hundreds of miles of spawning habitat, but the fish just don't get to the ocean any more. Did you know that 10x people live in the Portland and Seattle areas than live in Idaho "total" ????
The hunting is already gone in Washington state.. Most guys I know from there that are serious about hunting hunt over here in Idaho... I am sure I will get flamed for saying that but its a fact... We could use your help in getting the fish back.. In fact, its really up to you guys on what happens. This is not adressed to anyone " and I really mean that" its just that you guys and your states are holding all the cards...

Did you know that the WASHINGTON STATE record steelhead was in fact a B-RUN STEELY from the Clearwater river in Idaho??? It was caught in the snake below Clarkston in 1974..

P.S our Indians don't get to use nets.. if they get to fish at all...

Whats that got to do with bears ???
