I live on the reach and this year is shaping up to be the same as last year,which was suppose to be record numbers that didn't amount to much at all.The "Tri-City Herald"
finally fessed up in a tiny article this week that the actual run was going to be less than half of earlier predictions.There are several different scources for run numbers and they all have different figures.These "record run" sizes are the political tools of the "save the dam"people.Don't be fooled by them!!I have been all over the reach this year and there are not that many fish getting caught.One day when I was taking out the fish counter dude said only three fish had been caught all day long.Meanwhile the Indians are selling Salmon,Steelhead and Walleye at Columbia Point near the start of the reach.lester
