I talked to the Fish and Game in Vancouver and was told the nets got under 4,000 salmon total including the earlier season. They said the commercials were over their quota for upriver protected stocks by about 30%. Compared to last year where they got 14,000 fish, I'd say the sportsman are doing pretty well. Most of the fish the commercials caught were upriver Columbia fish with very few Willamette fish showing up. This is great news for the sporties. With what the commercials got and what the sporties have caught we are still under 50% of the quota so I think we are ok on the Columbia for a couple of weeks anyway. I just hope the Willamette fish are late.
