Some have questions on why we do not have a Chinook fishery on the Chehalis so below is a C&P off the model. Now this is this years run forecast with last years seasons marine and fresh which will change as this years seasons are updated into the model. It helps to remember that for the rest of the world it is Grays Harbor Chinook not the Chehalis or Humptulips.

The C&P is a bit messy but if you take a minute to sort it out you will get a picture of things. To boil it down 9554 of GH wild Chinook are taken in the marine with AK & BC taking most leaving 10852 returning Chehalis wild adults crossing the bar. The escapement goal is 9753 leaving 1099 harvestable. Hatchery harvest % are similar in the marine but terminal harvest jumps up due to the Humptulips hatchery production being harvested. So guys it is not the QIN that take our Chinook in huge numbers but rather the marine fisheries in AK & BC. I have more question folks are firing at me but I need to group them up a bit later to attempt to answer them.

Just as a side bar I imagine the numbers are similar around the state so tell me how does anyone think that the problem is all habitat and fix habitat all good. If that is your thought then you need better drugs and a lot more of them.
