I totaly agree with your last statement. Unless somone can figure out where the loss is occuring between that strech it should be closed, even for only one-two seasons to determine if indeed it's tribal or commercial fishing causing the losses. You mentioned something very interesting though...what other subspecies are being lost in the Lower Snake and Lower Columbia? When I king fished in AK there were always Chum/Dog salmon and occasionaly pinks & reds mixed in the runs at certain times of the season. Where are they here in ID?? The same salmon run AK as they do ID, of course not the same returners to AK as ID but the same species with simular patterns. Are we just discarding the other species and not concerned about their spawning/reproduction?? HHHMMMMM[crazy]
Well thanks for the great insight and education, I do appreciate your time and help figuring out how the runs occur and dams influence the runs.
