Comments fish1 has made

Well now............

I hate for a mere fisherman to disagree with a scientist, but having lived and fished in Idaho for nearly four decades, and listening to my father and grandfather talk about thinking they could walk across rivers on the the backs of Salmon in their youths, I have to comment that they (being very conservative fellows) knew without a doubt the reason for the continuous decline of salmon returning to Snake contributaries like the Weiser, Boise, and Payette rivers.  They saw first hand the direct correlation between, more damns=less fish.

I have disclosed my bias, being a fisherman.  You should disclose yours, being a electric utility company employee.  We should both, and all, cut back on sarcasm and rhetoric to concentrate on the fate of a fascinating creature that is not only part of a intricate system of life and death for itself and many other animals in Idaho, but is also a deeply embedded symbol in the psyche of Idahoans and outdoorsman all over the West.On David James Duncan rows through a wheat field to save salmon -- and we've got pictures posted 2 years, 10 months ago 16 Responses
