I'm posting the link to DFO's site for anyone who is interested in the 2009 Salmon Mgmt Plan, which also includes the outlook forecasts for each area. 2009 should be a similar if not slightly better year overall in almost all areas as compared to 2008.
In my area (Bamfield/Port Alberni)the Sockeye forecast is for just under 400,000 which means a recreational fishery for the first time in 3 years. Forecast return of Chinook to Stamp/Somas is about the same as last year. And for all of us who fish off shore on Big Bank, the Columbia Chinook are forecast at 500,000 and Coho at 1.2 million. Happy days ahead.

Enjoy, and get out on the water to have some fun. Tight Lines.
