Several things lined up - big flows to get the smolts throught the dams and into a La Nina ocean with cold water and no jack mackerel mostly, and ESA curtailments on harvest and development on top of that.

Of course then we get drought, El Nino is back, so are gillnets (only now they are called "tangle nets" mad ), and we elected Republican developers to run the country roughshod over ESA for the benefit of property rights advocates (the Klamath is only the beginning frown ). Enjoy it while you can, it won't last long <img border="0" alt="[fragile]" title="" src="graemlins/fragile.gif" />
