I live on the peninsula and have got three so far. Two the last week of October and one a few days ago. Ive seen fish come back early like this before. From my expierience it means we should have a good year. After last year we needed it. The summer fishing this year was better than an avarege but ushually its pretty consistant. But I dont think you can predict the winter run by looking at the summer run. last year was a good example. The summer run was avarege and the winter run was one of the worst I ever seen. Im talking about brats of course. One good thing I saw this summer was a good native run on the Hoh even got a few on the Clawah reel nice fish to.
