THX SG that helps and if your correct then I don't know comes to mind. GH is rain driven and depending on flows fall salmon can start moving in numbers as early as august (high flows) or as late as mid Nov (dry or drought years). I can see how the QIN numbers can be helpful but the major movements can be before or after the tribal seasons and are many years. I remember a couple of years early 90's that the movement was not until 3rd week of Nov and it was about half colored fish and half right out of the ocean. Took me by surprise we went from a couple hundred Coho on hand to nearly 10k in one night before we closed the trap! Bloody near rolled the herd when the DO nearly bottomed out.

I e-mailed staff requesting clarification and I will post it up when I get a response.
