It's hard to believe that after 100 years they were just now considering a fish ladder?:facepalm:

Glad this dam is gone, many more to go to restore the spawning routes for these great fish

Now if they would just ban netting them, they might have a chance at making a comeback... but they won't until it's too late, or almost too late.

Nah, don't shoot the sea lions... shoot the commercial netters!

The fraction of Salmon that the sea lions take is minuscule compared to what the netters take.

I understand your concern...dont like commmerical netter's either. However your assumption is wrong on how many salmon are taken by seals ...
