Salmon fishing the Manistee

I just spent the better part of 3 weeks fishing the Manistee in Michigan for salmon and steelhead. I've been fishing this part of the river for almost 30 years and I'll normally boat 25-30 fish, this year I boated 6. The fish just weren't there.
I heard the 'experts' blame everything from the tiger mussel to global warming for the lack of fish, maybe 4 years ago there was extreme freeze that killed off the fry that should have returned this year.
It'll be interesting to see what the fishing is like 4 years from now.
