Possibilities would be unreal if migration past all the toothy warm water fishies was possible. I always imagine what it used to be like when huge inland summer-run steelhead used to migrate that high. What did they look like and how big did they get? Imagine the stocks lost when the dams went in. Camping over there and looking at the scenery across the water always makes me day dream. https://www.opb.org/news/article/columbi...pFHmsg.facebook[/url]

i though one of the 35s came from the Snake in the 70s, then like 20 years ago one at 35 was caught on the Quinault...
the world record is still from David White at 42 right? think that was Alaska tho...
Nick English got that 37 on the Kispiox a decade or so ago as well....

I remember that "alligator sighting" very well. It takes a pretty unique set of circumstances to render Danny speechless. Not an easy thing to do

If you really want to restore the Big C, start at the bottom. Essentially, the lowermost dam goes first and you work your way upstream. Clean out the tributaries and keep working upstream. That way, the slackwater issues don't effect the restoration, except for temperature and some flow issues. Taking out the Snake dams just sends more food to the lower Columbia Smallmouth and Walleyes. Some more will get through, but it won't be the Silver Bullet.
I would prefer to get rid of all the below-Bonneville dams (on anadromous waters) and the take out Bonne and move up one pool at a time. Probably be the fastest way to get the sturgeon back, too. You're talking big money. Like, bigger than Hanford big. All the contaminants from smelting and Hanford are entombed behind those dams. It was described to me as "the removal of one dam below Hanford would amount to the single greatest environmental remediation project on the earth to date." Dams don't last forever, so it will have to be dealt with some day.
