So out of the 80,000 approximate chinook crossing Lower Granite this spring/summer how many of those are headed to Idaho fisheries? How many of them return to the Snake (Hells Canyon), Clearwater,Salmon rivers.

Final accounting of returns will not be completed until late August but preliminary estimates of the split of adult returns over Lower Granite suggest that the contribtions to an adult passasge of 80,000 fish might be distributed approximately as follows: Total Passage       80,000 Wild Natural        22,500 Hatchery              57,500 Among hatchery returns the preliminary distribution will likely be approximately as follows: Clearwater           20,700    Salmon                26,600     Hells Canyon       3,000 OR / WA               7,200           Once again, these are preliminary and subject to change.
