I think it's a little different than that. The Canadians are wanting to allow more sockeye to go up different tributaries once in Canada to build and expand the sockeye numbers in the future years, thus needing more fish up there this year to to get things going. Might be a bad year for our sockeye fishing now, but could be really good in later years.

Also, from what I've heard, the run won't be close to what it was the last couple years, more like 80,000. Who knows though, as I've seen thiese projections be way off.
