This needs to END! Anyone who knows anything about the current status of this stock would agree.


Ah, if you would like the preseason forecast with the harvest / escapement and run reconstruction data from 1982 to 2014 just PM me and I will send it to you. I think you would find it helpful in getting facts straight.



Riverguy,


I respect you a lot, more than probably anyone on here. Reading your posts are such a pleasure to read. It's very kind and thoughtful of you to put so much time into getting all the info out to the folks on this site.

I've been involved with stock assessment for this stock. Mainly, the wynoochee, satsop, and tribs upstream to Oakville. Escapement during the past 3 years on these tribs is very low. Are there more productive tribs upstream of oakville that host larger populations of springers?

What hatchery programs support this fishery?

Maybe I'm missing something...?
