Looks like we're on pace with 2006, the last time we had a season. 

But then again, we're also not that far ahead of 2012, when it petered out at 144K. 

Anyway, still a great start.  Fingers crossed!

Looks like we are now behind 06 but still ahead of 04 and 02.  Hopefully some big numbers start to return and push us towards a season.

Gonna get bashed for this I'm sure....I'm hoping there is no season. I've got get out crabbing, humpy fishing, general season bear opening, bow practicing, and still spend a little time with the family. I'm simply not ready this year!

As of 7/7 we are at 130k, same day in '06 we were at 97k, not sure which stats you are looking at.

Dude, come on even you can catch these in no time, like an hr max, off the water and home by 8-9am easy, still time for a pedicure...

Not sure what I was looking at, too many numbers on that past history screen, I must have been on the wrong chart as I scrolled down.

Note to self wear your reading glasses even if you don't think you need them.

Just didn't want you wondering what's going on when guys start posting up pics of their limits.

Thanks, I will keep my schedule clear and get my pedicure now so I am ready if it does open.

I would love to know what type of revenue the sockeye season generates in gear sales, parking fees and businesses around the lake.

Looking again I had it backwards, we are ahead of 06, and behind 04 and 02.  Not very far behind 02 though.

Open, open, open...

More in parking tickets than anything else.     Years ago, I tucked my boat trailer under my truck so as to take up little space, and got a ticket for it.  What a bunch of BS.

What's to prevent people from catching sockeye in Area 10 outside of the entrance to Lake WA?  I got one out by San Juan two years ago.  The regs don't say you cannot do so.
