Overfishing and dam building and many other factors caused the salmon and steelhead runs are a fraction of what they were historically. Further, due to the construction of dams, many areas within the Columbia River Basin have been blocked by dams, and this program will focus on the upper Snake River, upstream of Hells Canyon where we will learn when, where and how those changes happened that blocked the salmon and steelhead runs. Dennis grew up in Idaho fishing, hunting, and learning to love everything the outdoors has to offer. This passion became his career. Dennis has a B.S. in Biology with an emphasis in Ecology and an M.S. in Biology, both from Boise State University.
