Did not think to put the 14 nets in context as it was not intended to be a kick the crap out of the QIN post. The usual number on average is 8 for that reach of the river so one can see the size and intensity of the commercial effort coupled with how the run size is shaping up by tracking the harvest numbers with this years increased effort vs past years.

The first week non treaty is up and BM says she sent the first QIN numbers to Oly to be up. They should have been up yesterday maybe today. One should keep in mind the NT commercial Chinook does not include the release mortality rate or encounter ratio just keepers. Only the QIN numbers will give you a snap shot of what the fish are doing.
