The Green is interesting. Up through the 80s it was considered that there were no chums or pinks in the river. Few showed up. It was believed that WWII and the pollution into the river from war-related industries wiped them out.

Then, they came back and in the 90s/2000s I think both runs passed the million mark. The Muckleshoots actually wanted WDFW to extricate the pinks because they interfered with Chinook netting. I don't know the numbers now, but for a while the Green really cooked.

About the time the Green was cooking Kennedy Creek alone saw escarpments that approached 100k; regularly well north of 50K and the other deep SS streams were similarly abundant. This, of course, was after the intense 10 and 11 GN and PS fisheries. Plus, we had some neat sport fisheries in the creeks. I fished Kennedy once this year and saw one or two carcasses.
