Yup and the GH Chinook escapement goal for wild is 13,328. QIN methodology has projected escapement at 16,848 and WDFW at 12,555. Only WDFW separates the Humptulips from the Chehalis and bay tributaries. That came about when TF was the regional harvest manager in an effort to create a Rec bay fishery which was a different approach to say the least. The GH Policy codified this in the management of harvest and to be honest in the early 90's when the locals went at it about this the then Deputy Director looked us right in the eyes and said " we are going to loose Puget Sound and we need a place for those people to go". He also said the bay fishery would not impact fresh water fisheries but only access harvestable Chinook that the fresh water fisheries failed to harvest. Not sure that last part came to be.
