Main Index area on the Green is Whitney-Soos if I recall, there may be one in the upper river from Palmer to Headworks as well. Redds are counted via floaters and cross checked with aerial counts. Tribs are mainly Soos and Newaukum, both of which are severely underescaped and have been for years. Almost all natural steehead production occurs mainstem between Highway 18 and Howard Hanson.
You can trust that the wild steelhead #'s are tanking in this system, and most others in Puget Sound. Its not a conspiracy.
No scheduled steelhead directed tribal fishery this year, they pulled nets for the season the end of November with the culmination of the chum fishery.
