Generally when I see a sea lion, it's trying to steal a fish off my line. There needs to be a forceful reduction in the Columbia, Willamette and Clackamas Rivers as fish runs are being wiped out. Love nature, but the fish need a chance to spawn.
There is a way to fix it. Problem is they don't ask the right people or at least do not follow their advice. I would not have an issue culling sea lions but only after everyone else is willing to do something to help the problem. Molewackers suggestions sound reasonable and easily implemented, that is until special interest or politicians get involved. BTW, I have a great Salmon recipe for the grill!
1st chance I get I'll send it to you. Easy peasy cooking.Yea, water for irrigation/power vs smolt runs and spawning beds has been a long running battle as a example of special interest involvement.
On the bright side! There is several old smaller dams being considered for removal I believe on the Sandy and Clackamas rivers to enhance fish movement. Just can't blow them up as years of silt build up, so funding. But every little bit helps!
BTW - trade my sugar smoked salmon belly strips recipe for your grill voodoo!
