Damn it! That’s a bunch more guys laid off. I’m seeing the private construction market dry up badly and quickly. Interest rates need to start dropping.
I’ve fished with them for salmon and steelhead quite a few times. Top notch outfit. Hells Canyon sturgeon would be some amazing scenery and a great boat ride compared to the Columbia. It’s all C&R I believe.
