Some folks are wondering about the effects of last falls heavy rain and massive flooding on the odd pink run.  The flooding occured right after the pinks should have spawned.  The eggs and spawning bed may have all be swept downstream since the current was so intense.  It was a pretty strong run too.  We'll see next year of the effects.
 
The even year pinks could be either a wild run getting stronger or were from strays.
More info can be found here if you are interested.
