This.

I headed to the river after work today (Satsop), and I am no longer concerned about chinook. There were a LOT of kings, from chrome to black, flipping around. So many I couldn't help but catch a couple. That said, while there were some bright coho around (to include a few big ones), the numbers there weren't as good. Saw lots of kings caught (and thankfully released), and about half the people there got a keeper coho. Better than I expected to see, if not great.

Feeling a little better again, but I agree that next week's gillnet opener will be an important marker.
