Much smaller Alaska salmon harvest expected

The state forecast calls for a commercial catch of about 133 million salmon this season, less than half the 2013 tally.

  1. Looks like 2014 won't be as pink as last year.

  2. Will PWS offer a decent season or should I go fish squid in SoCal?

  3. the harvest last year was double the forcast. Wow almost 10 million hatchery chums in SE this year, that's a lot of Hatchery fish, good for them for enhancing the wild stocks with hatchery dogs that feed and grow in the wide open Pacific, thus they are called wild.

  5. Squid. There's a huge backlog of pinks from last year.

  6. Is there a new squid hatchery?

    "wild" is always confusing those who can't read the Oxford Dictionary.

  7. Heard you could be sitting for a long time waiting for the squid to show...
