Need to remember that there was essentially no harvest of Fraser sockeye this year. In the past, anyway, the Area 20 fishery (their outer Straits) took a lot of coho along with the later-timed sockeye. Those fish traditionally did not show up in WA coho databases. So, if there was a year with no fishery you would see a bump in fish that were never seen in WA.

Too many of the data bases used to predict fish runs are incomplete. What is needed is a complete, every fish accounted for, base. That would require data sharing, annual recognition of how much of each stock was taken, and so on. Another reason to stop the mixed-stock fisheries.
