Smaller Pink Salmon returns.

The fall and winter weather is a big factor in the survival of Pink Salmon smolt.  If it freezes too early and stays cold, there is poor survival.  The same, if there is too much rain or not enough water in the streams.  The scientists are touting a 30 year ocean cycle shift to colder winters and I think they are right.  While this bodes ill for the Pinks, the other species, especially the Sockeye, will do better. I hope.
