We have two sport fishery advisory reps here in Tacoma for Area 11. Their pleas and advice goes unnoticed with WDFW. It is not that advisors and advocates for Area 11 are not "showing up". As far as the numbers harvestable hatchery chinook are concerned (at least this year) it will be interesting to see how many surplus fish show up at the hatcheries. There was an article in the Seattle Times yesterday showing how many chinook are passing through the Ballard Locks now. The largest return in many years. Over 400 chinook are passing through each day. The guys at Issaquah Hatchery and others will be very busy this fall. The tribal test fisheries are saying the numbers are the largest in many years.
