Well to start they do not take millions of eggs and have not for many years. Skookumchuck Coho releases are mitigation only at 300k. Bingham does around 500k combination of late / normal timed and the Springs 450k normal and Mayres does some. You can find all this information in the brood doc on the WDFW website. Eggtake is brood doc numbers plus and overage to cover minor problems such as blanks and normal mortality. https://wdfw.wa.gov/publications/02119 gets you to the page and you will need to download it. My numbers may be off a bit but not much but they do update the Doc each year.
2012 1,287,330
2013 1,327,854
2014 1,205,580
2015 1,473,300

The run size forecast is 42324 w and 23801 H but the presentation document for tonight's meeting says we crashed right into the 3/5 clause in the GH Policy. ( failed to make escapement 3 out of 5 years ) Escapement goals is 28,506 which leaves about 14000 to be divided up between all the harvesters. That does not get us down the road very far. Using 2019 as an high example FW Rec harvested over 10K and 2019 as a low which was FW harvest of 1631.

What I am curious about is the going through the models I noticed changes between H & W caught in reconciling with QIN numbers. Kinda curious about that. Also the 5 yr window does not include 2020 which may or may not mean much.
