Good thing I read the entire article before commenting. I read the excerpt and was thinking that I had never heard of salmon living in trees.

Good for this judge. We are at a point where we know how to log forests. They're just a crop like corn.

It probably won't be long before enviroweenies try to throw themselves in front of other farm equipment in order to save the plants.

In this case, DEAD ONES.

brought by environmentalists who claimed the U.S. Forest Service failed to protect hundreds of dead trees that should have been left standing for salmon habitat.


Environmentalists USED to be good people. Now they're too far gone to retrieve! They want the Forest Service to protect DEAD TREES, instead of the LIVE FOREST! Dead trees in the forest are a major fire just waiting to happen!

Should have been left STANDING for salmon habitat? When was the last time you saw a fish climb a tree????

Take the dead trees down, and deliver them to the environmentalist idiots. They can use them for toilet paper!

It's the stump that hinders erosion and a stump will stay in place after logging. A standing dead tree eventually may fall, uprooting the stump, and possibly blocking the stream and creating more erosion.

Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

Salmon, like most river fish, 'breed', or deposit their roe, in sandy areas and gravel, so the claim that erosion will destroy their breeding areas is bunk. I guess these idiots never fished!

Was at my usual spot at the steak house tonight and a few other regular locals were talking one was a logger.

Seems there is a great deal of logging work going on in the Gorge of all places.

Unfortunetly the contract was given to an Idaho Company who is importing their own workers.

Opinions went back and forth as I listened. Interesting.

For you Oregonians reading this we had an awesome Salmon fishing year in the Yaquina Bay.

The Govener and his judge buddies snead down here on off time but with all the SS to fish.

I hope I don't get in trouble for saying that....at least I didn't say where they park.

You are right, nightdriver, it gets blue stain. Some people actualy like it for kitchen cabinet doors, but for most uses it diminishes in value.

We have a fire (Barkhouse) that the enviros forced retention of dead trees in riparian areas. It is now replanted and recovering nicely - except it as a natural fire conduit of dead trees running right up the hill along the stream.
