Description
It's tough being a salmon. Very few fish survive to spawn, as they face seemingly insurmountable obstacles on their journey to the ocean and back. Obstacles that are naturally occurring, like predation, but many more that are human caused. From my home on the 6 Ranch, a juvenile salmon has to make it through 8 major dams before reaching the ocean, losing many siblings along the way. These fish are unbelievably tough, but their natural resiliency won't be enough to save them from extinction unless we act now. My guests today, John Appleton, owner of Alpine Archery and Fly, and Kyle Smith, Snake River Director for American Rivers, are part of a cause to remove 4 of the lower Snake River Dams. We discuss the feasibility of this idea, and just what it would take to make it happen. Whether or not you care about Columbia Basin salmon and steelhead, you'll be surprised by just how big of an impact these fish have on a global scale.
