Here’s a very interesting video of the beginning of the removal of the Condit Dam on Washington State’s, White Salmon River.  Before blasting a large hole at the base of the dam, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service transported seven hundred spawning Chinook Salmon upstream.  These fish were able to spawn in a section of the river that Salmonids have been cut off from for almost a century.  I believe that efforts like these, which can open up a hundred miles or more of prime spawning habitat, are the answer to bringing anadromous fish runs back to the levels, that we all want to see them at.
