What they fail to mention is that this fish kill took place during the third largest fall chinook salmon run ever recorded.

Help me here. Though 30,000 fish died while still downstream, was this run still one of the largest recorded runs? - Was there a healthy return in spite of the loss?

Yes. See tubebender's report at #16.
