I can beleive the counts you are all reporting. We took out at Shilshole on Saturday afternoon, and the Sockeye were swarming around the mouth of the breakwater on the north end by the launch. While we were pulling into the guest moorage area I hopped on the bow to look down and see dozens of fish zipping all over.

I does seem as if the Salmon are returning a little on the late side this year. Anyone know of any science or have any assumptions on what may cause a late return for a migratory fish like Salmon?? Cold it be weather related or due to foodfish availability?
