Salmo, it is good to see that there is some stuff older than you; some is even older than me, too.

Fish passage should be designed to pass whatever shows up. I know the pinks came as a surprise as from at least the 70s on the whole Puyallup had about 20-30K as MSY production.

I would like to see all dams required to pass ecosystem levels of adults upstream. All that mitigation, at least up to now, seems to require is mitigation of lost catch. The loss of ecosystem services above the dam(s) is just written off. On the other hand, if you think the Cowlitz Hatchery is big now, try replacing all the ecosystem needs.....
