... finally released.
431K.
Along with the 600+K chinook forecast should make for a VERY productive B-10 season.

Wacenturion - I believe the 2009 forecast was 681K The 2010 was 245K (actually was 274K)
The 2011 forcast for the "N"/early coho is 257 K (or about on par with last year). And yes you are correct those early coho are the key to the August Boy 10 coho success. In other words look for overall coho fishing early to be similar to last year. Of course individual success will vary according to the luck of the draw - there will be good and bads days and hot and cold spots.
Tight lines Curt

No seriously... they came from a bio in Region 5.
The coho number I cited includes both A and B run fish.
The flood of hatchery fish in August is fueled by the early component, but later timed fish continue to be available at B-10 into the 3rd and 4th weeks of September when the entire estuary looks like a ghost town.
Some of the BEST fishing of the season...... for just a handful of boats.
SHHHHHH!

ok, if and when the wdfw allows the use of purse seines with a low mortality release rate to fish over these hatchery coho they will catch more and your hot sportfishing will suck but that seems to be what everyone but a few of us want.

Got it!
That's the old ad campaign I conveniently stole my oft-used quip from.
Forgot all about that line, "We need more Calgon."
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
