One of the questions someone asked was how accurate is the forecast. For Chehalis Chinook the forecast on average it bounces around pretty close sometimes a little larger return sometimes little short. Years like 1997 way short of forecast and 2004 much larger ( nearly 15k ) are the exception.

Coho is a bit different and the eval tab in the model only goes to 2012 but 2001 to 2003 well above forecast, 04 to 07 well short of forecast, 08 even 08 to 012 couple years above estimate couple years below but totally missed 012 by around 35k short of forecast.

So if you had to judge the preseason forecast performance, a little over a little under it varies but when they blow it it is big time usually the run being way short. 04 and 12 are the ones that show rather nicely in the eval tab.
