For along time they have trucked sockeye to above the Baker river dam on the Skagit. Every year bout the same number of fish, can we consider that run recovered now? Because we can truck some of the fish above the dam? Is that recovery? Didnt they just put an additional dam on the Cowlitz like 7 years ago? A dam that isnt running at full capacity because they cant sell the electricity? I guess WDFW got a good deal on some salmon busses. I am willing to try anything at this point and am certainly not in hysterics, just seems to a simple folk like me that to recover stocks you would remove dams instead of build them, if your true interest was recovery not tellin big brother that "hey look there's fish in there" C
