While guides may be a bit in excess i agree the biggest problems in my mind occure far downstream from idaho. The dams kill a ton of fish both ways but the larger problem i see is the way that the ocean fisherys are managed. The massive Comercial trawlers that take in millions of salmon and steelhead every year are the biggest problem. They are followed by the curtain of death on the Columbia and other costal rivers. I have no problems with subsistence fishing but when that becomes the commercial enterprise that it has become it hurts us the worst. Reforms on the ocean (and maybe just these alone) and tribal fisherys would solve most if not all our problems.
