I am just a realist with a pesimestic tendency. I truly hope the Elwha does come back to its former glory but I do not see it happening without stopping all salmon fishing from here to Alaska.

I don't believe all will become magical with unicorns and rainbows popping up in the Elwha just because the dams were removed.

The only downside to removing the dams is now I cannot fish the Elwha anymore.
