Can someone give me a link to the Lake Washington sockeye counts? I know the WDFW site has them but they haven't posted any this year yet. I remember Sky-guy posting some daily counts and I'd like to knw were they are from. Thanks.

So far the run seems to mirror the 2002 run, and is even slightly ahead of it. Another week or two and we should really know how strong it will be. This is a fun time to take the kids down to the locks to see the fish if you haven't done it before.

I wouldn't bet on a sport fishery this year -- the current counts don't indicate the very strong run that was forecast:
2004 -- 34k fish by 6/22
2003 -- 16k fish by 6/22, 200k total 2002 -- 29k fish by 6/22, 380k total 2001 -- 50k fish by 6/22, 270k total 2000 -- 68k fish by 6/22, 415k total
average 2000 - 2003 -- 41k fish by 6/22, 316k total.

I'm with you Strike Zone. The larger counts should be showing here in the next week or so. I bet we'll be fishing the 3rd weekend of July. That'll be kinda cool if they open it up that 3rd weekend, fish it first thing in the morning Friday than pull out early and head over to the Elliot bubble, hmmm ![laugh \:D](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/laugh.gif) . Come on Sockeye counts ![fishy](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/fishy.gif) .

Remember that the springers were late this year. Could that be the trend for every run this year?

I think they decide next Tuesday/Wed based on counts as of then. Parent run was 2000 and that is where the high expectations came from if you look at those numbers...hope they come flying in soon or I wouldnt bet on a season. Hope I am wrong though...

Actually, the 2004 Columbia springer run timing was in line with the 10-year average. The run size was WAY below forecast, however -- forecast was 360,000, actual run was under 200,000.

Why are people not prdicting a season this year? There have been 10k more fish this year than at this time in 2002 and there was a season in 2002.

You can't just pick a year that fits your agenda and run with it. As a counter-example, there are 18k fewer fish so far than 2001, and there was no season in 2001. 4-year average shows 66k fish counted through June 24, and a total run of 318k fish. Some folks have pointed out that this year's run was spawned in 2000, but if you use 2000 counts as your benchmark, you will come up with a total run size of just 193k fish. I want a season as much as everybody else (already got the extended family hyped up), but realistically the numbers to date don't bode well.
