Seems many folks are blaming the last 2 winters for the dismal fishing. Look back into the seventies and eighties winters - many were the same and the fishing was incredible. In my humble opinion diseases of various kinds are the main problem. Look at the steelhead at the river mouths last year dead and dyeing . Many of the 2 and 3 year old salmon suffered the same fate imo , just that no-one saw them as they were not running the rivers, and dyed in 400/500 feet of water. On my side of the lake there has been a noticeable lack of 2 year classes

Hello folks from a Canadian on the North side of the Lake out of Bluffers. Just a quick response to this thread-great reading and very informative. Secondly , without doubt it has been the worst year this side of the Lake in my 22 years of fishing. Only 11 fish weighed in over 30lb in the Salmon Hunt and very few 2/3 year olds have been caught . Certainly these class of fish have had some sort of disaster . The numbers are down -period over all year classes, as well as Bows.
