Default What happened to the 1.3 million Silver prediction?

There were 1.3 million Silvers forcasted to return and so far only 157,000 have gone over Bonneville. Is it still early or do they just go up the tributaries below the dam mostly? Does anybody have any idea how many have been harvested?

I think the 1.3 million was the number predicted to ENTER the Columbia. Most of them were either caught out in the ocean or at bouy 10, though. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Wait for the first big fall rain. Silvers will keep passing Bonneville well into November.

I'd like to see that yearly chinook total hit 1 million. Getting pretty close.

That 1.3 was devided up between those caught in the lower river, those going to lower river tribs and those going up river. Also, it was the combined early stock and late stock. Those late stock should just be starting.

I went with a couple friends today (Mon.) out of Warrenton to fish the lower estuary for the first time in a couple weeks, and it was about dead; and same the previous 2 days according to Tackle Time. We hooked and lost one on a Coyote trolling spoon and that was the only thing we saw hooked. We heard that a dozen boats out at bouy 10 caught 4 fish by a boater that came in from out there. It should still be good at this time. Right?
