I have done everything possible here to keep the runs going. I don't give up. I have been fighting with the fisheries department ever since they cut my eggs off. But, right now I have 300,000 eggs set aside for me. There are a lot of people attempting projects and getting funding, but I have yet to see one that is a long-term success story.

Everything comes before salmon. Salmon is the last thing on everyone's list. They'd rather have a new car, a new house, new this, new that, and they don't like those mosquitoes. Humans are just not compatible with salmon, period. But there is no possible way that you are going to separate humans from the salmon's environment.
