Thanks for all the info on the salmon runs. All of the biologists that I've talked to and the books I've read call the different groups of fish that go to different tribs Evolutionarily Significant Units, or ESUs for short.
As far as different species in Idaho go, I know that the Nez Perce tribe (maybe others too, I don't know) up on the clearwater has been trying to reestablish a coho run, which was functionally extinct for years, and they have actually been getting some adult returns starting in '97, and last year almost 3500 came over Lower grannite, not yet enough to fish for, but I think it's pretty cool. and like you said I don't think Idaho has ever had runs to speak of as far as pinks and chums go, I think it's just too far like you said. Although, I was looking at the spreadsheet and in 2003 1 pink came over Lower Granite. I guess he was lonely too![[Image: sad.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/sad.gif)
