with program

#Ricker Curve
mod2=nls(Recruit~(Spawner*exp((delta+echo*Spawner)+(foxtrot*Mtempcv))), 
data=box48,
    start=list(delta=4, echo=0, foxtrot=-7), trace=TRUE)
plot(Recruit~Spawner, data=box48, pch=19)
mod2a=seq(369, 3000)
lines(mod2a, predict(mod2, list(Spawner=mod2a)), col="red", lty=2)

R has no problem finding a solution to the nls() model (only 7 iterations are 
needed), but when I try to plot the line on the requested plot, I get the 
warning message "Warning message:
In (delta + echo * Spawner) + (foxtrot * Mtempcv) :
  longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length."

R tries to plot the line, but it appears as just a mess of vertical lines that 
get more dense where (I would imagine) the actual line is to go.  Any ideas 
what may be causing this issue?

Thanks for your help,
