There's still a lot of sockeye on the way too. I just got a call from a gillnetting buddy who got about 100 of them down by the mouth of the Columbia in the short gillnet season they opened. First time in many years there were enough to open up gillnetting for a few days. They're all really small though - average was about 3 lbs. a fish. According to him it's better eating than springer. I ordered 10 of them and he's just going to can them for me. Salmon sandwiches! Yum Yum.
