I question the statement that there aren't viable ISUs for other Puget Sound salmon stocks. I know that in the 80s WDF was able to update (weekly, in-season) the Nooksack-Samish Chinook, coho, and chum, Skagit Chinook, coho, pink, and chum, Stilly-Snoh Chinook, coho, and chum, South Sound coho, fall chum, and the Nisqually tribe did their winter chum, Hood Canal coho and chum, Green River and deschutes Chinook. The runs could be updated, shares determined, harvest to date, and harvest left.

Now, maybe WDFW no longer collects the catch data in a timely manner or chooses to put its resources in auto-pilot management but I would like to know, biologically, why the can no longer update.

Also, because it was checked, the ISU's were consistently better that the forecasts at estimating what the return was.
