Alrighty then, Close it Monday, Open it Friday. Allow springs to be retained (as IF there are any!!  ) in light of around 1/2 of the required escapement.

Is it just me, or do the Lunatics appear to be Running The Asylum??

Somass River Escapement Bulletin
Observations to October 13, 201

OBSERVATIONS:

The Stamp Falls fishway counters have been operational since September 6. Since their inception, cumulative escapement through Stamp Falls is about 13,600 adult chinook, 22,400 adult coho, and 100 adult sockeye. Note that cumulative escapement includes: (1) night-time counts; and (2) salmon which migrated past Stamp Falls prior to operating the counters as estimated from the snorkel survey from the Great Central Lake dam to the Stamp Falls fishway on September 6. Daily escapement counts since the last bulletin ranged between about 320 and 550 adult chinook, as well as 90 and 430 adult coho. Adult sockeye daily escapement since the last bulletin has been negligible. The counters were shut down temporarily due to power supply issues between September 29 and October 1. Compared to past years, Stamp Falls water level is moderate (1.39 m), and temperature is moderate (14°C). Currently, salmon escapement in the Stamp River appears to be unimpeded.
Note: Salmon escapement estimates in this bulletin are preliminary, based on an initial digital video review.
.....................................................................

Just over half of the required spring escapement. Now past mid-October. No way in Hell the numbers will ever be realized this year. Guess we can look forward to Conservation Closures 4 and 5 years down the line - due to "Ocean Conditions" again of course...
