The QIN seasons were modeled and conducted to go after Chinook and once we have week 40 posted up on the website ( no I do not know why it has not been put up ) we will know a bit more but it appears the Sept rain moved the summer Chinook resulting in the QIN fishing on the down side the summer's curve. The QIN fishermen in the first 3 weeks did poorly on Chinook but wk 39 really picked up which is the front of the fall Chinook run. They stayed out of prime Coho weeks as the NOR Coho were the restraining stock and chose to use their share of the Coho impacts to take Chum. The state NT Commercial will do the same.

The Springs & Bingham have between 8 & 10k normal timed Coho back which looks to be a bit higher than expected for this place in the run. Early yes but now that everything in the bay and tidal is up it appears to be the Coho return is above forecast but not massively for this point in the run. Now we wait fore the Nov part to see how close things are.
