grandpa not only is the sky falling.. It has already fallen!!! I think you should take a look at the history of salmon decline in the northwest.. What we have now is a remnant of what we once had only a few decades ago..

Skagit wild winter runs used to run 20,000 strong.. now the escapment goal is what 6500 and we aren't even meeting that???
We used to have 34 rivers open for harvesting wild steelhead just a few years ago now we have 6 of thoes many have had emergency regulations close them for harvest..
The Washougal used to get 1500 wild summer runs back in the early 60's now we are lucky to get 2 or 3 hundred.. Wild coho nearly extinct in the columbia river system as are wild chinook ( the only decent population being in the North lewis)
Grandpa our fisheries are absolutely in the toilet.. I am very happy that salmon fishing has been good for everyone this fall but Puget sound chinook are still ESA listed and that means by deffinition that they are likely to go extinct in the forseeable future unless somehting is done..

The sky fell a long time ago but the problem was so well masked by hatchery fish that very few pwoplw noticed.. Thats the truth!
