The guides and clients snagging the macs at the Gorge may not be the big problem. I understand that the illegal introduction of Burbot into the Gorge waters has the Utah and Wyoming F&G officials concerned. The burbot is a very carnivorous fish, and it's favorite food is fish eggs.
They also eat all small fish, even their own. The fish were first found in the northern sections of the Gorge, and are now found as far south as Linwood bay (major egg beds for macs).
I didn't see it on TV, but I believe Reese Stein covered it on KUTV. I have been told that the burbot in some of the Wyoming waters has nearly ruined the fishing. If someone has some good information on these fish, I'd be interested in hearing about them.
