I ve been searching and in contact with DFO canada which has not contaced me back about the fraser river salmon forecast 17 million Pinks this year but what about COHO, CHUM, CHINOOK, SOCKEYE there no info i can find or the info is very vauge at best.

Steve B, time to refine your internet searching techniques   What DFO will say now is out there but hopefully their Communications Branch has learned that all salmon runs and projections are subject to change; it’s the nature of the species and how man has changed the ecosystem.  As soon as enough information is available to make as informed a decision as possible it will be relayed.
Other than Fraser pinks and a few sockeye stocks none of the species you mentioned are doing well, anywhere.  Many early chinook stocks are nearing extinction; same with some interior coho and especially lower Fraser chums.
My guess is you will see the usual pink frenzy and all that entails, and a short sockeye opening on Chilko summers to appease the masses.
