Well there seems to be 2 camps - those that believe global warming is happening and those who are in power who don't.

Anyone notice that Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa (which has had snow up top for the last 10,000 years) has actually melted.

And the 4 year drought in Australia...etc

I wish more people rode bicycles and short drifted ;)

First thing to consider is that the tape came from alaska where most rivers and runs support much larger returns. I bet that is just a tiny feeder creek and the main river is so choked with those humpies that some get forced up those small tribs just to find a spot to spawn...I bet its a good sign when the fish are forced into water that skinny.

While I havent seen the Adams first hand, on years with good returns, I have heard storys of the whole river being red with sockeye...wouldnt surprise me if you would see the same sort of thing there.

Post by: Gooey on October 18, 2006, 02:07:24 PM: Thats second clip is just plain ignorance...friggin tourist with a camcorder. Unfortunately though, people are coming to fish the vedder with no better knowledge or respect for the fish than that clown (we call them flossers).

Post by: Youngin on October 18, 2006, 10:46:45 PM: Because they came in at high tide.. and then when the water went down the fish had nowhere to go

"All these salmon come in on the tide to a small waterfall with nowhere to go"
