Fish Ladders on Source Waters on Central Washington State

Good Day,

And, this is a good day! Grandfather Sun shines on us...and BuRec smiles on the salmon. Today, in the newspaper, it was reported that BOR has decided it is feasible to build fish ladders on dams at Cle Elum and Bumping Lakes. The nearly $3M study concluded that the Yakama Nation has been correct all along. Therefore, by 2018 or so, Sockeye salmon will be able to return to the upper reaches of the Yakima and Bumping Rivers to spawn and leave their carcasses to enrich the forests for the first time in over 100 years.

Freedom to salmon, and their people!

TBW,

Ya know... I would have told them that for only $1.5M.
