Agreed....
I spoke a number of times with WDFW crews surveying pink and chum fry in the spring of 2016 while out beach fishing.
They weren't seeing many pink fry.
The forecast predicted a less then stellar return. I saw exactly one pink caught off the beaches I fish this summer.
Lots of long faces this summer for the buzz bomb and rotator crews.

People have tended to get a bit greedy after the past few huge pink runs because fishing was so easy. They just expect big number of fish to show up each year.
In reality, it just doesn't work that way.
A lot of those disappointed by this years pink returns won't fish again unit July 2019.
