Tom,

My theory, on the abundance of fish depending on whether or not I can fish for em, took a big hit w/this year’s hatchery steelhead returns.

Since I am still in exile down here in San Diego there should have been good returns.

Now, if I was halfway around the world, there shoulda been excellent returns. The only hope for proving my theory correct is that this year's wild steelhead returns will be incredible.

Based on my expected return to the great northwest, there should be good fishin thru the fall of next year w/an outside chance that things may take a nosedive in March of this year.

Sincerely,
Roger
