I had to wait for today’s outgoing tide to get a good view of how fishing was for the QIN, in a word terrible! I watched two full outgoing drifts and nothing. Sealions were around but did not even follow the nets. The forecast for combined hatchery and wild coho was 111k and change. The coho run timing appears to be normal as to timing but the numbers that should be much greater for a 111k+ forecast. So now the question is just what is going on. Large run forecast don’t just jump to any week but rather increase from the start to middle to the end. A 111K+ forecast does not look like this! In fact this looks like one way way below expectations. Time will tell but bottom line not a lot coming up river it is likely to be slim pickings for a bit.
