within the last 5 or 6 years the Fraser experienced low returns while other nearby rivers such as the Nanaimo had good returns allowing commercial harvest so how rivers in Alaska or what the Area 12 tests are may not be indicative of what will happen on the Fraser. It's still at least a month before Fraser Chum start to move through the Marine approaches and fish in Area 12 are likely bound to mainland rivers north of the Fraser that have earlier returns.

Indeed, Ralph, it is still quite early; the chum test for the Fraser River and Johnston Strait does not commence until October.
