Joe's weekly report is fantastic!
I sincerely hope we don't see the same as we did in 2013. I am hoping that he is right in that the fish are on their later time schedule because of the flows coming out of Bonneville. I think the next week will be a big teller of what is to come. We should start seeing some 5,000+ fish days as soon as that water drops like it supposed to today and for the next little bit.
The Clearwater system is the one that is looking like it may be in trouble if things don't change quickly. There is still harvestable numbers on on the Lower Salmon, but it would be a quick harvest if we are infact on average timing.
I guess all we can do now is put our Steelhead gear away, beef up the gear, and hope for the best! We should have a clearer picture by the first or second week of May.
