Dead water

[blacktop]

The current run we fish for the last 40 years has been paid for by Idaho Power who works in conjunction with the fish and game. Steelhead was a huge bonus because of the dams and the humongous Salmon run has disappeared due to the 4 Idaho power Snake River Dams. We have a pretty good salmon run on six river systems in idaho that is also totally financed by Idaho Power that partially replaces the original native run on the main salmon. What the old timer told you is absolutely correct. Idaho Power finances the release of about six- eight million or more steelhead smolts yearly as well as nearly that many or more Salmon smolts.
