R6 and Q's reached agreement on GH seasons last night.

Will list good news first... progressing toward the bad

1) R6 GN's lose a day in 2-C... down to 6 from 7 at Oly.
2) Hump rec package remains intact.
3) MA 2-2 package with 3 wk chinook retention remains intact.
4) Chehalis FW package with 4 wk chinook retention remains intact EXCEPT the clipped chinook piece was cut out of Satsop.
5) The GN day cut from 2-C was transferred to 2A/2D... from 6 in Oly now up to 7 days at PFMC... 2, 2, 2, 1 in each successive week in Oct.

I know Rvrguy is gonna blow a head gasket.... sorry, I'm just the messenger here.

Final allocation of our 2900 available Chehalis chinook ended up 1100 MA, 1000 FW, 800 GN. Chum impact at 4.7%. We left 23K wild coho on the table.


R6 GN's go into 2A/2D (12 hr periods, 6am to 6pm) Oct 1, 2, 12, 14, 19, 20.... then a final 24 hours on Oct 22.

QIN's will officially go 2 days (in at noon and out at noon) in stat week 39.... Sept 23-25.
2 days in stat week 40... Oct 3-5.
4 days in stat week 41... Oct 7-11
3 days in stat week 42... Oct 15-18.
Then a long break until after mid-Nov for "steelhead".

Gonna be a brutal October. It is what it is.
