Been down with the flu crap and been so cranky my dogs are ignoring me. Anyway DW pretty much captures it, In another thread Francis lays out Willapa and how it matches into the GH bay fishery. Bottom line? Inland fresh water will get screwed. Look at the generous season bit then overlay the nets and you get .............. all together now .............. SCREWED if you fish fresh water. Your Chinook retention is great on paper but they will be mostly harvested by the nets. It is the same scenario that has been in play in the past four or five years, on paper great seasons but your setting behind a net fishery that is wiping out about 90% of the fish coming in and it takes place Friends Landing down.

So hope for a early rain to move the fish so you can get in on the action in the tribs. Nov. outlook? Now that is about the QIN nets and weather and maybe the folks on the tribs will luck out.

We will have to wait and see what the QIN comes up with but bank on 5 weeks in late Sept. to the end of Oct. with QIN 3 but more likely 4 days a week and could be 5 . NT nets 2 days a week first three weeks of October minimum.
