Has anybody else been looking at the hatchery reports? Some real interesting things in there. Like the fact that Minter creek has got back almost 8000 coho this year compared with just over 1800 last year. Something not in there is the fact that the Nisqually hatchery has gotten around 26000 kings compared to the 6000 expected.

There has got to be a better way to calculate numbers. I think it is interesting that the lack of fish was completely attributed to ocean conditions, but when some runs starting getting back huge numbers, there was no apparent expectation for other runs to do good.

The more I read the sicker I get about the opportunity we lost.
