Just looks like a normal variation to me. Some banner years and some low years appears to be normal.

As I understand it , the chemistry of the water during some critical two week period when the eggs first come out is very critical to the success of a given YOY. If some quirk or pollution makes the PH or othe chemistry detail high during a critical time during the spawning , the numbers crash but if the timing is such that the water is good during the spawn , the numbers boom . It all evens out over a long period. What you need to be careful of is year after year low numbers. A decade of all low numbers and the fishery is crashing.

Well said.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
