Sockeye Salmon are returning this year in record numbers! I remember last year all the global warming fanatics were using the sockeye salmon as there poster child to further there agenda. Last year there were an estimated return of 1.7 million salmon that returned to the Fraser river in BC.
This year so far there has been over 25 million salmon returning. This is the biggest run they can remember since 1913. I hope they figure out why this is happening and it will help them figure out how it can help other runs of fish. Sadly I fear they will just waste more money on Global warming and dismiss this.

I am not trying to be a jerk but this logic is totally flawed.

Global warming advocates:
Last year, sockeyes down = global warming

Bushbuck:
This year's sockeyes up = no global warming

Aren't you guilty of exactly what you decry?

What are the trends over time? What are the other factors? Are other rivers enjoying this increase? By your own logic one event does not indicate a trend, unless of course it supports your agenda just as last year's run supported thiers'. I hope you are right and they do figure this out so they can help other fisheries.

Playing the devil's advocate. Going fishing, back in a week... tight lines BB! Get out there the weather is nice.
