It seems to me that we had a lot fewer grasshoppers in both western and
eastern oregon/washington than previous years. I have always had a
great deal of the little guys in my garden and this year I only saw a
few. Anybody else notice the reduction in the population?

I would agree and thought about it a little while fishing throughout the
summer months. Generally when walking along the river side roads and trails
there are dozens of grasshoppers jumping/flying out of the way. This season
there seemed to be very few.

Anyone have an idea why?
