2012 Red Salmon Forecast


The Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Commercial Fisheries, recently released their forecast for the 2012 red salmon season. Here is an excerpt:
A return of 6.2 million sockeye salmon is forecasted to return to
Upper Cook Inlet in 2012 with harvest by all user groups of
4.4 million.

The red salmon forecast for the Kenai River is approximately
4.0 million which is 6% greater than the 20 year average run
of 3.8 million.

Whooohoo! Although last year Fish and Game underestimated the total run of red salmon, it's a pretty good bet that this year will be excellent. If you haven't started to exercise your arms it's not too late to get into "flipping" shape.
