Rob...you and Ramon are just beside yourselves aren't you...best salmon fishing in 40 years.....record runs.........anglers out enjoying their sport all over the state....

Here you go again: "The sky is falling..the sky is falling..."

Thanks to 5 years of great ocean conditions, nature has done what nothing else could do and salmon are returning in mass numbers...and there are tons of "wild" fish in the mix too...

Sorry Rob...sell your doom and gloom somewhere else..no one's buying it.
It's definitely nice that we're going to have a good year but just 5 seasons ago, Coho were'n't able to be caught in Oregon because of their threatened status. We've had good ocean conditions but now we're facing El Nino again, and that doesn't do so well...2 seasons ago they barely let enough water go over Bonneville and so the next 2 years will probably be tough.

As you mention, enjoy it while you can but unfortunately, the trend for the past 50 odd years is bleak.
