So the implication is that I'm prostituting myself? That's pretty funny!

And still no mention as to how I'm lacking a clue.

What is your thoughts Bill, on this record return of Sockeye? Do you think this is the new norm? Evidence of the stocks rebounding? A good year in the midst of many bad years? What would you do if you were the Minster of Fisheries?

Has anyone considered that the this present run consists of many that "went missing" last year and are just late coming back? Makes perfect sense to me. Even in Nature "there is an exception to every rule." :smile:

It takes four years for a salmon to mature in the ocean. These salmon returning to spawn now went to sea in the spring of 2006. Nobody knew where they were last year...
