I agree that they are a bit of a distraction from the warm green of the fall algae. I like to see them, however, because the more of them I see, the more fish I'll get to through hooks at in 4 to 6 years.

In the Snoqualmie this fall, the king run was easily twice, maybe 4 times what it has been for the past several years. It may come to pass that we will be able to fish for these again.
