Based on sampling, an estimated 1,727 adult Chinook were harvested from 5,304 angler trips (1,939 boats) in the sixth week of the fishery. In addition,  7 steelhead were caught and released.  

Our second run update did not track as we had hoped. Plan to keep the one adult Chinook limit through the season at this time.
