Just when I thought we were making progress by removing the Elwha dam....

I mean is there no way to have clean energy?

Also picked up this little hatch lady on the Nooch Sunday afternoon:

Not much, but a personal best on bobber and eggs up below 7400 (corrected

29" x 14.5" = about 8lbs but she sure felt like 10! Good fight.

Bobber and eggs by the barrier.....HMMM, pretty sure the regs say selective gear above 7400 bridge?

Bobber and eggs up by the barrier?....HMMM, pretty sure the regs say selective gear above 7400 bridge?

Assume he is talking about the water diversion dam above Black Creek, perfectly legal............

Hope that is where he was, the diversion dam bobber and eggs are perfectly legal, just hate to have some one posting pics saying they got it at the "Barrier" only one of those on the river and it is selective gear as most know, the Game wardens followed some one down the river sat and had them pull out at 7400 for fishing from a floating devise above the bridge, his rig was there for a long time with no one around while they left to go do whatever it was the game wardens do when they find you not following the rules

so no one cares about the amazon?

Yeah I care about the Amazon. Wonder what type of fish would be impacted.

Nice fish. I was up there Sunday afternoon below the bridge and I didn't have any bites or see any caught.

Like a wild broodstock program, some projects just have to go forward no matter how ineffective, expensive, and uneconomic. If the project economics were any good, this dam likely would have been built a couple dacades ago. Cuz obviously the environment and the native people who live on and near the river don't matter much.

Nice fish but what does this have to do with damning the amazon?

I'm a thinking that maybe no one here does care about the Amazon.

Just Kiddin, or course we all do.

This is however, the Northwest Fishing Board, a popular Salmon, Trout, Steelhead, and other local species.

Can't say that I know much about the Amazon, but good links to learn a little about how little some peeps have learned about other's mistakes!

yes I seem to have posted too much in one thread, but nonetheless... I was hoping maybe this way it would help grab people's attention!

I just came across that show Rivermonsters a few days back and have watched a few episodes, most of which have been about some crazy amazonian flesh eating creature that looks more like a dinosaur than a fish.

I thought living in Alaska with furry things that can stomp you and eat you was interesting. No way in hell you will catch me wandering around the amazon. That place is insane with creepy crawlies of all sorts.

Hope they don't do something stupid like put a dam on that river...or any other for that matter.
