"Fishyfeller," The "enviros" were the people that had the quasi-illegal dams removed and set up the river for the restoration of native fish. On what basis do you suggest that we may never fish there again? What fishery below the dams was worth saving?
With the outflush of sediment and creation of a new spit, I expect that Ediz Hook spit erosion problems may stop, saving tons of taxpayer money.
I don't see a downside here.
