I have to agree that our Coho fishery will be dismal at best come 2-3 years. Can't see much of a season if we get one at all.

What happens to the Chinook, who knows but it won't take more than 1-2 years after the last planted fish returns to know and know quickly.

BTW, if there is anyone else who fishes the Humptulips I could use a hand doing some sample collecting. I don't make it out but 3-6 times a month at best so my ability to collect is limitted. I have already talked to WDFW Montesano and they said they would love the help. I remember most of what they told me but will get it all reiterated Monday if I can and get it to anyone who wants it.

Hope to get them to agree to a "Blind" DNA study. We collect unbiased samples with data on species, size and such and they get the scales for DNA to be correlated later. Only I can think of to put together something that everyone can accept as having at least a little truth to it.
