Here's the full spring/summer CR forecast document released yesterday...



Buffered upriver springer run-size puts us at 57.1K

57.1K puts the NON-treaty impact allocation at 1.50% for season-setting.

Commercials get 20% and sports get 80%.... leaving a rec impact allocation of 1.2%.

1.2% impact leveraged against a 10% release mortality says we will be able to handle 12% of the run to stay within the impact cap... well at least til the runsize update.

57.1K (0.12) = 6852 total handle available for the 2020 mainstem CR springer season.

Those ~6800 will then be split 75:25 between the below Bonne vs above Bonne contingent.

Set your expectations accordingly.
