theres almost 20k Coho back to Bingham, with 21,313 surplus, do the math on that...

the same thing happened with the low water on the Quillayute this year, the fish werent moving and were stacked up by Richwine, tribe came in, smacked the hell out of them, and they closed the rivers because not enough fish were back to the Sol Duc hatchery... they had their totes off the side of the road, so unless it was full of dead raccons, they had fish in them...

if you guys believe numbers from either side, i dont know what to tell you...

same thing with the Puyallup this year, they say there is 8600 back to the hatchery, yet i didnt encounter very many hatchery fish at all, maybe 20 out of 100+ landed...

almost seems like someone dumped a bunch of unclipped fish in the system, either that, or it was one of the best Coho years in over a decade, and we just get crapped on and left hanging...
