I believe the 2009 forecast was 681K
The 2010 was 245K (actually was 274K)

The 2011 forcast for the "N"/early coho is 257 K (or about on par with last year). And yes you are correct those early coho are the key to the August Boy 10 coho success. In other words look for overall coho fishing early to be similar to last year. Of course individual success will vary according to the luck of the draw - there will be good and bads days and hot and cold spots.
