salmon run?

[chromelander]

I was wondering if fisherman can predict when the salmon will run up various rivers? Is it the moon phase?decrease in daylight hours? water temp in the rivers?all of the above? And why do they tend to run earlier in the farther north rivers like the mannistee or the PM when the water temps are close to that in the south like the st.joe? I fish out of St. Joe and its been spotty all year. I would like to be able to plan a trip there when their about to run.

for what it is worth I have a place up near the Pere Marquett river in lake county and I have personally seen salmon showing up for about two weeks now. No big schools but seeing big males here and there moving up getting ready to do there business.
