I will sign a petition to blowup a damn when 2 nuclear power plants are built and running to replace the energy lost. I love reservoirs. usu good fishing and good times.

I agree that more nuke plants need to be built.

This dam doesn't sound like a good idea though.  I don't see how they could get through a SEPA determination to get the go ahead.  Seems like the fact that there are Kings in the river would eliminate it from a possible hydro dam.  Maybe they have a good design for a fish ladder???  Doesn't make sense these days to be proposing a dam where salmon are involved.

Please get educated on how dams effect native fish runs. I like to catch natives & not just hatchery fish. Dams are not good for fish I could give u a list why.

A 150 million dollar project ought to create some jobs

[Gringo31]

Fact is.......it isn't ALL about the fish.  IF it was, we wouldn't eat them, net them, etc.  When I was a Fish and Wildlife major in college, we toured the Dwarshack dam.  Now....it's been some time, but I recall on that tour that it was a kill facility.  ALL fish were killed and harvested for their eggs and milt which was run through their hatchery.  All fish.....want to talk about natives?

[TikkaT3-270Shortmag]

There are no natives on some rivers. Look at the Cowlitz for example! Atleast we know where tax dollars are going

[Gringo31]

I'm not talking about the Cowlitz.  I'm talking about the snake river.

Dworshak hatchery raises cold-water fish species: Clearwater River ‘B’ run steelhead, spring Chinook and coho salmon.  IF you kill every fish, it must be true then that of ALL the fish you kill, everyone has been clipped.  I'll leave my thoughts on where our tax dollars are going to myself (on this thread). 

The dams make Eastern Washington some of the best and highest producing ground in the world.  Without the dams and canals, it would be jackrabbits, coyotes and sage.  There is no action without it's consequences.  But....for me the idea of breaching dams is right up there with making Obama our long time dictator.  Both horribibly foolish.

It is not all black and white.  The salmon runs of old were out of this world.  But, like I said earlier, it isn't only about the fish.

the sky and colubia arent even close to being the same.

thats really too bad about dwarshack. thats something i would not like to see over here. the wild runs of the sky are dwindling, adding a dam to this streach of river would (no pun intended) damn wild summer and winter steelhead, and wild chinook.

  But....for me the idea of breaching dams is right up there with making Obama our long time dictator.  Both horribibly foolish.

once again, not talking about breaching a dam here...

[Gringo31]

As I said, I don't know enough about that exact situation.   I am pro dam and anti windmill.  My point was that a dam doesn't kill everything.

right i understand that but this dam is going to ruin PRIME wild fish spawning area. ive caught lots of wild summer runs up there over the years and i have to say they are pound for pound the hardest fighting fish i have ever hooked. it would break my heart to see this happen.

[TikkaT3-270Shortmag]

When it comes to dams it becomes about making money and the cost is native fish runs.

[lokidog]

i would have to say that we have enough dams, wind ect.. in this state. if i remember correctly, the pwr companies are selling tons of electricity to other states, calif being the biggest user, so wa should be producing more than enough for our own needs. I dont care if the excess gets sold off but i see no reason to distroy an ecosystem in this state to create additional power. especially in a system that is being designated for protection by the state legislature & nominated for fed protection by the usfs.

   Let CA dam the Sacramento River for their power!

[JakeLand]

done  more power gets sold to a state that is south of us than what we use why build another
