Salmon in Lake O looking skinny this year?

[Canuck]

I notice that many of the Lake O salmon in pics people are posting this year are looking a bit skinny. In past years the Lake O salmon looked nice and fat. A lot of them this year look thin to me. That was how Georgian Bay started about 3 years ago when the few salmon caught were really skinny. Then the population crashed. From those that fish Lake O, are they thinner this year?

A cold summer may have contributed to this.

The fish out east have always been skinnier than west end Kings, with the bad August/September in the West there's more eastern fish getting posted up.

 

All the Kings I've seen caught from Credit/Bronte/Niagara have been thick, but lampreys are definitely on the rise in the last few seasons.

if they look skinny, take a closer look....you will find they have slit bellies out east
