Just an aside Jere, but so far Idaho Power has not agreed to release water
to augment flow in the lower Snake. Water is being bought for power
generation not fish. In the past BPA has paid Idaho Power (they own Hells
Canyon dam - last in line before the Snake/Clearwater confluence) for loss
power generation opportunities. But not this year - with little water in
the system everyone is holding on to as much water as possible for power.
Water this year, for spills or flow augmentation, is a sham.
