Smaller run size, lower water levels, gill-netting has been real effective in lower water. Floods a few years back have effect. Some of the rivers that I fish had the smolt pond flooded during these floods and lost alot smolts. Fish are around, but not the numbers that should be around. A few rivers are doing well, but most are not. I am not excited so far about the hatchery run, but I have been catching a fair number. I am disappointed that the netting hasn't been reduced this year, but hey it is their "right" to take 80% of the returning fish if not more----whatever
