Summary We caught similar numbers of Chinook and coho salmon. While most of the Chinook were of hatchery origin, most of the coho were unclipped & untagged. The Chinook in our catch were relatively large. We caught fewer chum in 8 as compared to 7. Catch in 8 was dominated by pink salmon juveniles during spring. We intend to continue work through 9.
