I just don't know how they can lump Coho and Steelhead togather on predicting runs, Coho go who knows where, and don't steelhead cruse the coast line.
I did not really see a drop in Columbia Steelhead, it appeared to be a longer sustained run. Numbers not far from predicted, But it was my best year to date, boat wise, with over 300 to the boat.
I can see if they don't want pressure on the Coho in November. But if the Quin's go back to netting Wk 48, then the gamefish should also be opened Dec 1st.
But overall this past year was awsome for both food and game fish, Maybe not Coho, but kings, starting in the Spring never ended thier push....Awsome
