Scotty, the fishermen usually set in on the Quinault on Sundays, up-river fishermen. Down river set in on Mondays. Nobody fishes above river mile 7. Pull out is Friday during the hatchery run. As we get into more wild timing the days are cut back. The stub dorsal percentage is looked at each week along with coded wire tag recoveries. 25 percent or more of the catch is sampled each week for all fisheries. No drift netting is allowed and an open channel is left at all times.

I have heard of chum carcasses left in the Puget sound region but not locally. The enterprise buys the chum whole from the Quinault fishers.
