that the population just unexpectedly crashed! For anyone that's seen it, that is one amazing river. I used to spend summers in Washington on my grandparents apple orchards, and have waterskied it many times at a place called Vantage which is right on I-90 about halfway between Seattle and Spokane. I fished it one time for Sturgeon, but got skunked. It's amazing how many different fish species are in that river. It's famous for it's Sturgeon and Salmon, but people pull huge Walleye's outta there too.
