Of course traps and state of the art fish sorting facilities at Bonneville and Willamette would work better. Facilities already exist at Cowlitz and will soon on the NF Lewis. Kalama Falls could be retrofitted. This would be consistent with ESA recovery, highest and best use conservation in the LCR, and responsible and intelligent fisheries management.

Keith's concern about unmarked hatchery fish is very small potatoes in the big pool of more serious fish conservation issues.
