Check this link out, it's the final 2007 spreadsheet of all the fish trucked around Mud Mountain Dam.

It looks like the Chinook return is now above what the restoration goals are for the watershed. I believe this has been the case for the last few years as well. Hopefully the state and tribes can work out an agreement so that sportsmen and women can legally target these fish in the White River itself, instead of having the allowable non-tribal impact be allocated to saltwater fisheries. The White is a salmon restoration success story, but you don't hear too much about it, I wonder why? FYI- All those Coho are wild and since the fish ladder at the pipeline crossing was removed, Pinks have exploded into the upper basin.
Oh, I also see that someone has stolen my screen name since I last posted here, oh well.
