The Pacific Fishery Management Council released its "Review of 2022 Ocean Salmon Fisheries" report last week and the news wasn't good. Based on an ocean abundance of 200,100 Klamath River fall Chinook thought to be swimming in the ocean last fall, forecasters predicted roughly 66,759 adults would return to the river.
Unfortunately, the run fell a little shorter than the preseason prediction, with a total of 46,639 adults returning to the river.
