I went by Tumwater Dam to get an update and saw that 1,379 sockeye were counted as of July 6th, but this number didn’t factor in the video count. I hope to have that soon and will post an update. Hopefully, when the Tumwater count is combined with the video count there will be close to the number for this date in 2023, which is a better number to compare to than last year’s record return. Also, I got a photo texted to me of fish carcasses in the East Wenatchee dump. The person that sent it speculated that they were summer runs. I happened to talk to the person that actually dumped the fish, and they said they were captured at Tumwater Dam. They are overshoots of spring salmon from the Leavenworth hatchery. They are Carson stock fish and are not the upper Columbia native spring salmon that are endangered. There has been a huge effort to recover this run, with little or no progress. I think we need more than good habitat to see their numbers increase. Another item of interest is that people are waiting for the latest from TAC committee on summer fisheries on the upper Columbia.
