Yes, but......

Having lots of fish get thru the fish ladder on one day does not say anything about the size of the annual return. There could be a record breaking number of fish moving thru the ladder due to, say, an increase in water temperature (like we're getting right now), but the overall run-size could be lower than the 10-year average.

I don't think that's happening, since the run-size estimate for Fall Chinook was expected to be considerably higher than the 10-year average. But my point remains. That is, individual daily counts do not reflect the run-at-large.
