I have been giving this a lot of thought as well....

All I can say is what I know, and that is the numbers are way down. We took a boat out today(the big white 3 rivers boat) and fished all the common runs from the mouth of the Wallace to Thunderbird. Talked to a few guys and saw 2 fish caught, we got one and a guy at the mouth of the Wallace got one. No other boats had a thing nor bankies. I work at 3 Rivers Marine and talk to a few anglers every day, and the chum are almost non existent. EVERYBODY says the same thing "whats going on" ??? And I know they let the commercials back in on Monday(19th)-Friday, yet it really doesnt look like we are getting escapement. And Curt i was on the river and there really wasnt a lot of guys out. Go figure, no fish no anglers.

I live by Carkeek park and the last few years Pipers ck has had fish the first of November. I went down Friday the 16th and walked the whole thing and never saw a fish...

Honestly Curt, its kinda scary.
