I know this is old news but some of you may not know of this issue. The link is https://youtu.be/80uZmWQOqcQ

I am going over the 100's of my old VHS tapes, some 25 plus years old and putting them on disks and some on my u tube channel that may interest some. I will come up with some I am sure of Dave when he was with DFO as I did a feature story for Global TV news on the sockeye die off one year on the Harrison River when they were looking for a reason for this happening.

Who was doing this particular gravel removal, Chris?

Sockeye die-off on the Harrison? What? Harrison Sockeye do not suffer prespawn mortality.  Morton says so.  :P
