Latest gillnet catch results

The DFO website has been a bit slow updating catch results lately....but here are the last 4 gillnet catch results
Date...........Boats...........Sockeye......Pink.......Chinook
July 24........316.............65,756..........3893......214
July 27........241............28,376...........4640......0
July 28........216...........22,263...........2923.......4
July31.........289...........27,179...........4566......24

Totals for Year: 2741 boats 446,962 sockeye.......28,150 pink......5,019 chinook
We'll do another tabulation on steelhead impacts shortly to try and figure out the latest tally.
The total Area 4 gillnet openings now stands at 11....just one short of the 10 year average. Time to wind down this fishery, especially with Kitwanga sockeye timing coming into play.
The gillnet openings from the 27th onwards are utilising the so-called selective method of short net/short set.
