Same as estimating sport catch of salmon and steelhead. They depend on the integrity of the information provided. Give them garbage numbers, get garbage estimates.


If you have faith in TCL accuracy and even our WDFW reports, then I have some swampland in Florida I'd like to sell you. I believe the powers that be purposely inflate the numbers to appear to follow their legal and financial obligation of dam mitigation. It's obvious returns are poor because they don't put in what they show on paper. My 2 cents.
