Big Windy fire P^ge 9 Big fish count at dam Fall chinook have kept fish counters at Bonneville D am busy. N um bers are close to beating die previ ous record set 10 years ago. Counts are on track to surpass what fish manag ers had predicted would be an already strong run for the upriver brights. A recent report says fish co u n ters sp o tte d m ore th an 530,000 ad u lt fall chinook, in addition to the more than 62,000 caught in upriver fisheries. Fish managers say the salm on run will rem ain strong through September. The previous record was more than 703,000 fish in 2003 at th e C olum bia River mouth. . Stuart Ellis, fisheries sci entist with the Columbia R iver In ter-T rib al Fish C o m m issio n , said th e strong numbers are due in part to several high spring river flows, spilling water over dams and good ocean conditions. “This fall chinook run is not only big, but it’s' got a lot Of natural-origin fish going to a lot o f different places,” he said. T hat means a lot o f the fall chinook passing by the Bonneville D am , so far, have been wild. Ellis says fall chinook predictions are also high for the Snake River that flows from Idaho along the O regon b o rd er and into southeastern Washing ton. The same goes for the Klamath River in northern California and southern Oregon. The story is different in P u g e t S ound, said P at Pattillo, salmon policy co ordinator for the Washing ton D epartm ent o f Fish and Wildlife.

The Columbia River Inter- Tribal Fish Com m ission is opposing the transportation o f megaloads o f tar sands eq u ip m en t th ro u g h trib al lands, and the C learw ater Wild and Scenic Corridor. Commissioners represent ing th e N ez Perce, W arm Springs, Umatilla and Yakama tribes unanimously passed a resolution in August oppos ing th e tra n sp o rta tio n o f megaloads through its mem ber tribes’ ceded lands and the development o f tar sands projects in Canada. The CRITFC resolution states that “the development, tran sp o rtation, and use o f Canada tar sands oil will have long-lasting negative effects and pose significant threats to the Columbia River Basin, its n atu ral, resources and the people who reside there.” : , “We will n o t sit idly by w hile o u r treaty reserv ed natural resources are put at risk or one o f our m em ber tribes is ignored.” “The US. Forest Service m ust uphold its mandatory duties to protect tribal rights and interests. T h e U nited States has a trust responsibil ity to ensure that proper analy sis and consultation is com pleted before agency decisions regarding the resources in this basin are m ade,” said Paul Lumley, CRITFC executive director. “There are substantial cu mulative impacts to the Co lum bia River Treaty Tribes and the Columbia River Ba sin th a t c a n n o t be d isre garded.” Companies have been at tempting to move large pieces o f specialized e q u ip m en t through the Clearwater and Lochsa Wild and Scenic River corridor and the N ez Perce T ribe R eservation for the past three years.
