Thinker, thanks for the sad but true history lesson! It's easy to forget what we used to really have for fish runs here on our side of the mountains. I was aware of all the habitat destruction due to logging, farming (grazing, irrigation...), mineing and even trapping years ago but the info on the dams on the Payette and Wallowa areas are interesting. Funny that you never hear anything about those dams concerning fish recovery. It's sad that once a run is gone how fast it fades from memory.
