Seems to be the case with Washington streams, particularly the hatchery brats. The coastal runs seemed late, although there were some weather problems, the Cowlitz run was about 1 month late, and many of the Puget Sound streams were about 2 weeks to a month late.

The nates are starting to push in now, when in past years, they would start by late-February. Some low water conditions may be contributing to the late showing of nates, though.
