"I was just looking at the test numbers from the last couple of weeks and they are significantly lower than the average norm:"

Not sure if anyone has seen the June test net numbers but last month has been produced the most chinook numbers then any year in the last 4 we have seen 29 in the month of June this year.... The next largest number catch was in 2011 with 25 chinook caught I'n the test nets.
I remember fishing that year and it was deadly. Anyways here is the website guys! We might b in for some good fishing

Oops... this should work.

Its good to be an optimist man, but take a look at the numbers from 10 years ago - 1250 Chinook during the same time in 2003!  This year is not even close to how many fish their used to be.  More troubling is that if you look at the long term trend since 1981, its significantly downward - not a good sign IMO

To reiterate - the issue I raised isn't can the hatcheries do something productive, it's where will finding come from?

29 in June 2013 Vs. 221 in June 2010. This year's numbers are still way lower than the average and as others said, the overall trend is not pointing to a healthy condition. Let's see what July has in store for the Fraser Chinook!

Thanks for the great link.
I don't think any fancy statistics is needed to see that there has been a steady decline in Chinook numbers over the past decades.
Looks like we are scrapping the bottom of the barrel.

I guess we all know what the problem is but we barely like to talk about the potential causes or solutions. I was listening to a very interesting conversation on the CBC radio this morning about the potential causes of declining salmon numbers in BC and the role of the federal and provincial governments and learned about a few interesting findings. Interesting video to watch and good content to read on this blog:
