Not bad Mike, I'm moving you up to guru status. Any idea when they revived them? When I started fishing the Clearwater in fall 1997 a few of the regulars were saying that those gnarly looking salmon that were limping around the edges were coho, but nobody has said much about them since. Okay, I just looked it up and it looks like only 85 coho over LG in 97, so it's doubtful that's what they were. But 3800 in '04 and 3400 last year, that's pretty impressive. I'm happy to see them and the sockeye recovering, even if we don't get to fish for them. I think it's neat just to have them in there.
What I actually meant about the Yakima and Naches though, is that's where the big coho seem to be headed this year. . . at least what I've seen so far.
