Was doing and update on the salmon returns and the site went down again and lost the work. So the short version, Bingham / Springs is down about a 1000 plus Coho compared to last year. NT commercials modeled at Chum 10,324 and actual 7110 and Coho modeled 1299 actual 639. Without tribes catch numbers one can only guess but the early coho could have affected the numbers a lot and I think it did. That said Bingham numbers say Coho run was off prediction by around 9%. Now Chum acatch is off about 32% which is not good but Chum are managed for Grays Harbor as a whole and the forecat was just shy of 147,000 with and escapement goal of 21.000 so being down a third is okay as it keeps above the escapement goal assuming things track the same with the QIN.

So it looks like we did okay but if anyone has the QIN numbers let us know.
