I've been getting the trap report for about 35 years, while this year Coho adult numbers are down some, it wouldn't really matter as most of these fish are trucked above the dam by Tacoma City Light.

If I had a say, I'd put 500 over the dam, then I'd shut the trap and force the remaining Coho to find a place in one of the feeder creeks to spawn.

What is a surprise to me is the amount of Wynoochee Coho jacks this year, 140, in the past 8 years the largest number has been 42.

I tried this year, NOF, to get the legal daily jack limit raised to 12....was told no but no reason was given as to WHY.....grrrrrrrr

I will try again, think there is a better use of these jacks than to surplus them...
