It seems that this year's returns to Columbia, Baker Trap, Lake WA trap are all on the low to really low side. Reading that Chinook counts in AK are way down. Is there any actually quantified return on the Coast that is looking good? Fraser stuff is too early for the bulk of the run.

Just heard from Fraser panel and the Early Stuart are about 2/3 of forecast. But, as I remember, ES were almost always weak anyway.

Baker sockeye are returning well below the pre-season forecast. I was up there for the opening weekend and landed 2. I was anticipating a better catch, but they are moody fish. Sure are tasty though!

My only real experience with sockeye fishing is Kenai. There were enough really stupid ones around to feed me. And they do eat well.
