Wow. Their escapement is a lot lower than the 350,000 needed to go up the Cedar River before we can fish lake Washington. It would be nice if the WDFW could improve our fishery so we could fish every year for longer periods. I have heard of the Russian River Sockeye from a neighbor who has fished them. Said they were good fighters. I have not been to Alaska yet but that would be one reason I would go. I don't like combat but I do it from time to time. It is not bad as long as your catching fish.
