Duroboat,

Indeed water quality and quantity are very important and underappreciated aspects of fish habitat. Contrary to popular belief, it takes more than good gravel to have habitat for salmon.

I think if these low water levels continue for many more years it will be water quantity that is limiting for salmon everywhere in washington. Increasing demands for water by our growing human poplulation are going to be a serious impediment to wild salmon in future years.

Just my doom and gloom $.02
