Did some looking at numbers and not good. The hatchery escapement after harvest was modeled at 26,089 hatchery origin. So far it has 9703 Coho adults and folks that is not a good number. Using the average over years we are supposed to have 65% give or take of the normal timed Coho past the tribal nets. Sooooo considering the Coho have trailed off in the tribal net fishery it looks those of us who had the sinking feeling that the 111K Coho forecast was a bit of a reach is looking to be true. Have to wait some for the state post more hatchery escapements to do a comparison on what the wild escapement is doing.

Little Edit: I have asked for the NT and QIN harvest numbers but I was only provided the first NT set and they are posted on WDFWs website. I hope the numbers are provided but ........................
