Where are you seeing the updated whonnock numbers? I check the PSC website and the last update was the 19th.

500K pinks estimated past mission yesterday

[RalphH]

I think this test fishery just broke the record of how many pinks were caught.  I checked 2023 and 2011 and not even September test catches were this high.
May be this 27 Million record will be set this year.

Area 29 - Whonnock Sockeye Gillnet   8/25/2025 543

Nothing in 2003 to match, which I think was the record return? At 2003 and 2011 were 2 of the historical high run sizes.

so apart from the San Juan Seine test on August 14t when 38k pinks were caught in 6 sets, there isn't any other test catch that mirrors what Whonnock reported yesterday. Hard to say what that one report means in terms of the eventual run size.

They extrapolated that catch for % passing mission I think 500k is high and more are sockeye.

Based on all pink historic timing there is nothing that big this early

you are correct too the marine catches are low so i guess will see

There is a bunch of pinks going down the US side of the JDF, however not seen data on the DNA split for % Fraser

Looks like they are down grading the pink run to 12.5 million

also bumped up the run time by 8 days from  21-Aug to 13-Aug

Really? Downgrading? I get the marine tests have been low but I've seen alot of pinks already.

Also that link for the test fishery is the same I've been using but it's still only updated to August 19th.

Wondering if that means the Vedder will get earlier pinks this year.

There's a link somewhere on the PSC website that talks about stale links - sounds like you need to clear your cache.
Should be instructions in Google for your browser.

their last friday report said what they've caught so far has been inline with their estimate.

[RalphH]

First in season forecast issued today:

 

The Panel adopted a run size of 12,500,000 for Fraser River pink salmon with an associated Area 20 timing of August 13.

cuts it down the middle between 10 and 15. It's also generally in line with the final published run size for 2023 which was 10.5 million.

Thank you very much easywater! That seems to have worked, Idk why I didn't think of that in the first place.
