Thanks for the info GutZ.....

I called the Muckleshoot tribe to get the skinny on the test fishery and ended up talking with their fish biologist for awhile. He was quite helpful and confirmed what I'd heard elsewhere. The tribe does a test fishery on Wednesday nights (5 boats, 5 locations) during most the weeks when we get to fish. I can't recall if netting starts on the 21st or 28th, but it continues into August. Typically net counts are low during the first few outings then increase as the peak of the run hits in August. Worth mentioning - Wednesdays were chosen so both parties get a fair crack at the fish and have the least impact on one another's fishery.

Edit: Looking forward to your report from Pete.
