Puget sound fish are reds not whites.
Im 3:1 reds to whites this year. About 50% have been hatch marked

Correct, the whites you are catching in Area 17 are Harrison origin...which also means any rivers that used them for brood stock (Chilliwack, Capilano, Chehalis). Proven by the Avid Angler DNA data...which is way more accurate than CWT.Puget sound fish are reds not whites.
Nicomekl, tynehead, semiamoo, all ran some whites as well...Correct, the whites you are catching in Area 17 are Harrison origin...which also means any rivers that used them for brood stock (Chilliwack, Capilano, Chehalis). Proven by the Avid Angler DNA data...which is way more accurate than CWT.
You’re a lucky man to be fishing with your dad. Wish I still could.Lots of fish around. Neck pt.to fingers and around the area. Lots of small undersized springs and coho. Our best luck last few days was 175 to 100 feet with 135 the best for us. Purple haze hootchies green and white glo spoons and green silver spoons trolled fast behind green and gold theme flashers. Mostly all reds between 7 and 11 pounds of which 50 % are hatchery. Thanks to the USA being our goverment does dick for enhancement. If it wasnt for the US ..... I bet our catches would be way down.
A Great few days spent with my amazing dad of 84 years still fishing his home built Nautawhaler...... Built 30 years ago . Cudos to you pops. You rock it out there. Your putting us kids to shame. I sure hope I can do what our dad is if I make 84. Your terrific!
Tight lines Dad and thanks for all you are.
