Indications are of a strong run, is there a webpage from dfo from what the total predicted run size will be?

True, but Springs do not put on the acrobatic performance of a fresh chum either.  Chum jump like a coho but can dog it like a Spring, however they just don't have the staying power of the chinook and tend to give up sooner.

I agree to that pound to pound point regarding chums compared to all other salmons.
chums are one of the best fighters. unfortunately they are widely under appreciated fish by lots of anglers.

i said pound for pound, springs usually just continue up stream like nothing every happened after they have been hooked.
