Todays PI has an article about this years Coho runs. Why the Puget Sound was so much more dismal than forecasted and the Columbia so much better than forecasted. The article quotes Joe Hymer, a biologist for the WDFW, who claims it wasn't so much better runs but the inaccuracy in original run-size estimates. Once again the WDFW admits it cannot predict with much accuracy the size of a run but yet those forecasts are the basis for the allocation.
