Davet,
Another update on the Spring Chinook run on the Columbia. The original estimate was 88,000 fish over Bonneville Dam. The doom and gloom has eased a bit as huge numbers started going over the dam. The revised estimate is now 65,000 - 88,000. Monday over 5,000 fish went up the ladder. They are making comments like "We don't know why they are late". Basically the run hung in the lower river an extra three weeks and ar enow hell bent for Idaho and all points in between. I'll give you the final count when it shows up.
