collected sufficient sample sizes (n > 100) for weekly estimates of stock composition in
seven weeks (Figure 3). The number of samples collected per weekly opener ranged from 0 –
1173 and sampling efforts were highly dependent on weather conditions. Sample sizes were
sometimes limited by low catch rates. Weekly stock proportions from IA and MSA averaged
over all weeks were similar: Central Valley fall and spring contributed the greatest percent (MSA
weekly average 61.01 %; range 43.91% - 71.49%, Table 4). The Klamath ranged from 3.82% to
11.32% (weeks of 9 July 2006 and 17 September 2006, respectively) with an average over all
weeks of 6.47%. The Rogue River spiked at 19.13% during October, up from 1.70% in the first
week of August (average 7.26%). Stocks from the California Coast reporting region averaged
2.20% (range 0.67% - 5.38%), and the Northern California/Southern Oregon Coast contributed
an estimated average of 2.25% (range 0.60% - 5.75%). Weekly trends for the Klamath,
California Coast, and Northern California/Southern Oregon stocks were largely comparable
(Figure 7). One of Project CROOS’s objectives was to test our ability to provide genetic stock
estimates for management and protection of fish from the Klamath basin. Of all treatments of
data considered, the conservative dataset estimated the greatest contribution from the Klamath
basin on a weekly basis (Figure 7) but the method that would be most useful for management
remains to be determined.

Here's a sample of some genetic testing done off the mid to southern oregon coast...What a constantly moving mess, try and manage for escapements in each drainage.
