Klamath Fishing Opened Friday

Fishing for fall- run chinook salmon on the Klamath River opened yesterday, according to The Daily Triplicate. The allowed catch is the second largest allocation of fish on that river in 30 years. The Klamath is one of only two rivers where salmon fishing is allowed this year, the other one being a short stretch of the American River, if memory serves me correct.

Someone is going to have to explain to me, once again, why the dams on the Klamath need to come down. If those dams are so detrimental to fish, why does the Klamath have enough salmon to be one of only two rivers in the state allowing salmon fishing?
