Just read weekly update from Joe Dupont. Flows today are 349,000 over Bonneville which are impeding the salmon quite a bit and hopefully accounts for the dismal number the past few days. As with earlier reports he puts the average passage of 14-17 days for the 8 dams. With high water I have seen it take at least that long and I think that is why that number is that high. This years numbers are still in question and I am concerned they may play out close to 2013 when the Riggins season lasted only till June 2nd closing with only a week of fishing on similar run timing. We will see that year about 60,000 total fish over Granite. Was hoping for 70-75,000.
