This was based on the higher than normal jack (juvenile salmon) returns to the rivers last fall.  Many in the know are cautiously optimistic because their projections have been known to be wildly inaccurate. But to most, any good news is welcome especially regarding the health of our fisheries and is cause for optimism.
