I received the 2025 harvest model and was lazy about getting it out so those that would like PM me.

The Chinook forecast is 11,216 with 885 harvestable and the Coho forecast is 107,826 with 77,820. Chum are the have the best numbers this year at 151,913 for 130,913.

The recreational season is similar to last year but that is not the case for the QIN and NT commercial season. The tribe will start for 2 days the week of 10/4 and fish mostly 3 days a week until the end of November. The weeks of 10/11 and 10/25 will be in 4 days for a total of 28 days in Oct. and Nov. The NT ‘s will fish 7 days from Oct 19 to week of Nov 2nd. When combined week 43, 44 and 46 nets will be in 6 days for two weeks and 5 one.

So what do the numbers mean well not good. The 50% share for QIN (and NT Rec & Comm) is 443 each. The QIN are modeled to take 1665 when the dust settles Chehalis Chinook escapement will be 8,612 which is 1141 under escapement. This number changes as both WDFW & the QIN count any Chinook spawning in the gravel in the wild escapement but get worse not better. Coho are modeled at about 2000 above escapement after everyone is done fishing. Chum are NA in the model no idea why but for all of Grays Harbor it is 72,065 as Chum are not modeled by stream.

So looking at modeled combined commercial fisheries from the second week of Oct for three peak weeks it is a full-blown netting only four days with no nets.

Trying not to be disrespectful if anyone knows any of the Commissioners kindly thank them for their amazing new Grays Harbor Policy. To be blunt I do not think they could find their way out of a one-door bathroom with an exit sign! Way back a lady I worked for said you can be smart as hell and dumb as a stump. With the Commission I am being unkind to the stump is my thought.

This is WDFW & QIN management off a cliff without a parachute!!!!!

Little edit: The bright spot is AK & BC will only take a combined 26.6 of the Grays Harbor Chinook whicjh is 6620.
