The whole issue of revival of the salmon and steelhead runs is varied and complex. The dams have had and continue to have a major impact on the runs. I watched a special a few years back that talked about a natural run of salmon that the fish returned from the ocean in five or six years and fish of up to 100 lbs weren not uncommon, I believe it was the Snake River. Anyway once the dam(s) were built (I believe it was in 1920's???) this run of fish was extinct within six years. We have to do our part on all of the parts of this puzzle, C & R, habitat, nets, the whole nine yards. In my mind I agree that starting with getting the nets out is the right thing to do. Just look at California and Florida, no netting and the fish are coming back in bigger numbers every year. I read an article last month that the projected return of Chinook's to the Sacramento River this year is expected to be 200,000 to 300,000 fish. I think that the removal of the dams would be a step in the right direction also. Anyway my 2 cents worth.
