awesome link.

still seems a mystery as to why the upper Yakima basin is not being used better by steelhead.


from the link,

"Yakima and many of its tributaries such as Big Creek, Cabin Creek, Teanaway River, and many others should have at least another 6,000-10,000 … even under present conditions. Given the good passage conditions in the Columbia in recent years and the good overall ocean conditions, the Yakima should be having wild steelhead returns of 15,000-20,000."


SG, you catch that? "even under present conditions"
