The cash influx is finally letting crews upgrade boats they’ve long deferred. Yet behind the money lies a mixed picture: runs are mediocre, with biologists calling Chilkoot sockeye “below average,” though both Chilkoot and Chilkat met escapement goals—a hopeful sign for long-term health. Pink and hatchery chum harvests still lag behind ten-year averages. Still, this year’s sockeye haul—though not stellar—is a welcome rebound after dismal 2024 and 2025 seasons. Coho and wild chum runs in Lynn Canal are just beginning; the next few weeks will reveal if those trends hold. For now, fishermen are celebrating the payday—even if the fish aren’t quite as abundant as they used to be. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
