To All Summer Campers, Hikers and Fisherman.
Please be aware that there has been an increase in the bear population recently, particularly in the Cascades and Cascade foothills. All hiker, hunters fishers and golfers are advised to take precautions and be alert for bears while in or near the mountains this summer. You are advised to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells on your clothing to alert bears. A startled bear is a dangerous bear. It is also suggested that you carry pepper spray in the event of a close encounter with a bear.
It is also a good idea to watch for signs of bears. Learn to recognize the difference between black and grizzly bear droppings. Black bear droppings are smaller and may contain berries and possibly squirrel fur. Grizzly bear droppings have little bells in them and smell pepper spray.
(thnx DK)

On a more serious note, where might one find Lake Washington Sockeye counts, both past and present?
