but Chinook are really looking bad.

OK... you're probably right about the run coming up short, RG

Co-managers budgeted nearly 3000 Chehalis kings apiece to die in this years fisheries.

Unless the rec catch cards eventually show otherwise, it doesn't look like we're gonna come anywhere close on the NT share.

My boat stats show 23% chinook encounters and 77% coho where the fish was on long enough to make a positive ID. The vast majority of the kings were released.... virtually every coho was bonked.
