Hey B-run, just thought I'd give a little update to your 100 sockeye numbers. I just looked at the army corp of eng. site for fish passage and as of 072900 there have been 266 sockeye counted over lower granite dam!! Yes, that is nothing short of incredible. I believe a few years back the idaho F/G blew nearly their hole wad of milt and eggs that had been stored and this is the end result. It appears that their timing was excellent (ie:lucky as hell) in that the ocean conditions were favorable for a good return of fish. Lets hope that conditions can stay this good in the ocean for a few years and mayby some of these endangered stocks can stage a comeback. Unfortunately, with all they must go through it's going to be a long time (apparently at least ten years...dams Hmmm) until they can even be a shadow of what they were. Until then it's great to see that there is some progress being made

tight lines and lets keep our fingers crossed for those big B's!
