The Willapa test commercial fishery last week had very positive results. I understand that many of the fish caught in that fishery are dip-in Columbia fish. Would seem to indicate they're well on their way but not quite there yet.

Of course, 1.6M will probably still prove to be BS.

"This Guy" would be pretty psyched to catch "a few" Chinook about now. Drives me crazy waiting for the fish to start showing in my local rivers this time of year.
