The 2009 Deep River catch was comprised of 59.0% spring Chinook destined for Select Area sites, 13.1% upriver spring Chinook, 17.2% Willamette River spring Chinook, and 10.7% spring Chinook destined for the Cowlitz, Kalama, or Lewis rivers. Based on scale readings, verified with CWTs, the age composition of the catch was <1% Age-3, 37% Age-4, and 62% Age-5.

I still don't understand going in that direction??


Guess I don't understand what your saying Keith, but seining in the river would just remove the 59% from the equation and replace it with higher numbers of the others..Not sure how that's going to make anyone upriver happy.


Pardon me... I just keep looking for the perfect world without any gillnets..... But that was CCA's plan in the beginning. That's what Gary preached... Guess they're just another group that follows the routines of the DFW's.... Thought there was change coming?

But the only change is we're going to get fukkked with the selecitive fishing....

Keith thumbs
