There was a hellacious amount of silt behind that damn and still is.  The mouth is just about completely filled in.  The river has cut about a 50' channel up through "northwestern lake"  just about to the bridge.  Its pretty impressive to see.  You can't even see the water from that banks of what use to be the lake because it has ate down so far.

There are no hatchery fish on this river, never have been.  So all the fish that are caught by "sportsmen" with rod and reel are only the fish that pull into the mouth to get some cooler cleaner water and to rest.  However, we WERE allowed to fish in a boat upstream towards the dam.

According to the people I talked to about the dam, the natives will be able to net the river above the Hwy. 14 bridge, so that means taking WILD fish that no one else can even take out of the water for pictures.  No one will be allowed to fish above Hwy 14 EXCEPT "natives".  So yes, us "non natives" get screwed.  IF the Yakamas were truly concerned about restoring the wild salmon runs, they would never put another gill net in the river... but it is not about that.  As usual it is about the money of selling salmon.. not feeding your family...
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

There are actually hatchery fish on this river.  They plant both summer and winter run steelhead on it.  I believe the washougal hatchery brings a truck load and dumps them up the river.

I don't like to see smaller private installations being regulated into closure and the government ran BPA(US Dept of Energy) soaking up the new revenue. How much of the U.S. infrastructure and manufacturing will be destroyed by the environmental movement?

My avatar is a picture of my kids with some of their steelhead from the White Salmon.
