Kramer, I believe your Entiat salmon numbers are incorrect. Total chinook salmon (as of 9/15/00) over Rocky Reach Dam this year is 23694 and total chinook over Wells Dam is 9354. This is a difference of 14340. These 14340 fish (springers, summers, and fall run chinook) are divided between Rocky Reach Dam hatchery, Entiat River and associated hatchery, Chelan River and associated hatchery, and Wells Dam hatchery. While I agree the Columbia River dams are becoming more smolt friendly, the other "by products" associated with the dams are still a major contributor to the overall decline in migratory fish returns.
