The hatchery escapement reports are up for Nov 3rd are up. Bingham has had a return of normal timed Coho of 30,108 H and 2533 W. We now have an idea of just how huge the early movement was and Bingham returns say it was huge! Keep in mind that the movement was before the QIN fished so their harvest was well below expectations as were the NT commercials and the inriver Rec was shut down thus Bingham has substantial return for hatchery but wild is lagging. Chum numbers look to be about as forecast by harvest numbers but we have to get the last numbers both QIN and NT to get a clear picture. Chinook numbers look to be down across the board.

The river is in shape now but it is going to blow again with the next two days rain. https://www.nwrfc.noaa.gov/weather/10_day.cgi After that event all should drop quickly https://www.nwrfc.noaa.gov/rfc/ over seven days. Fall fishing is done in a day or so and it will be winter mode from this rain out.
