just a way to net everything in the river. dont let them fool you

"Through July 18 the tribes – the Nez Perce, Umatilla, Warm Springs and Yakama – had caught 29,313 sockeye and 16,347 chinook during the summer season. They expect to catch another 2,100 sockeye and 1,700 chinook this week and estimated a harvest of 1,100 sockeye and 1,600 chinook next week."

so very much to say about those numbers....

i am just in shock they are so low.
