Fishery Notice

Broodstock collection activities have commenced at the Conuma Hatchery however, 
current estimates of escapement to the Conuma River are approximately 2,800 
Chinook compared with the escapement goal of 11,100. This week's Area D gillnet 
fishery caught approximately 200 Chinook with four vessels participating for 
most of the three nights. Based on current observations, a reduced run size of 
40,000 has been adopted for management purposes. The estimated Area D catch for 
the season is 14,700 Chinook and there is no remaining TAC at this reduced run 
size.

Escapements to the Conuma River will be monitored daily and a fishery opening 
on short notice may occur if conditions change. An Area 25 Roundtable call will 
occur on Monday to review hatchery broodstock collection progress and 
escapement observations.
