Curt,

I have been told that although we do have a blackmouth season going on right now the average guy is not hitting the fish so they are looking at alternatives that don't require them to spend the night in a hotel. Therein lays the other part of this and that is the economic environment that is making people look at closer to home viable fisheries.

Not sure of the summer chinook fishery, most people I know talk about nothing else during that time.

I do agree with the WWW issue and have seen in myself in some of the fisheries that I concentrate on.

As with most fisheries when the catch rates start to get tough, the casual angler moves on to other fisheries or hobbies.
