- Catch and harvest
is far below that of the past two years.
- Not unexpected

these steelhead return as 1-ocean fish.
- 436 steelhead
caught, 347 harvested.
- Only 34 wild
fish caught and released.
- Preliminary summary
of the Hanford Reach fall chinook fishery puts the harvest at 7,501
adults, 431 jacks, and 5 coho.
- A total of 177
steelhead (53 hatchery, 54 wild, and 70 unknown) were caught and released
during this fishery.
