Deep Inlet CR August 19
Thursday August 18, the total harvested was 50,000 lbs. The remaining pounds to harvest is 1.45 million lbs. The input seems to have slowed, so the harvest boat will stand down unless we see a new build up of fish. The harvest boat has already looked this morning for opportunity.

Cost recovery steady but slow, 110,000 lbs taken on July 17th. This leaves 1.499 million lbs to finish it. Medvejie broodstock continues to build with an estimated 55 to 60,000 fish of the necessary 90,000. We have one boat fishing today at Deep Inlet. Based on the 51% male sex ratio taken on fish caught at Makhnati yesterday the run is close to the mid point. This strongly suggests the run will not reach forecast, but rather come in well below. The Hidden Falls portion of the Deep Inlet return came in at forecast, but the fall run segment appears weaker.

Cost recovery at Deep Inlet was 128,000 lbs for August 16. This is a lower volume than expected. The chum are holding deep so both boats are using deep nets to reach the fish. The biggest issue is the abundance isn’t there to catch. As of this morning we need 1.6 million lbs to meet the goal. Next update will be tonight or tomorrow morning. Common property fishery August 18.

We harvested 210,000 pounds on Saturday and Sunday, far less than we hoped. That puts the total remaining to be harvested at 1.85 million pounds. The fish are diving out of the net and not easy to catch, although we have had good effort. Some fish remain in Deep Inlet. We will have two deep nets for harvesting on Tuesday August 16. There will be no fishing today as it is a common property day. Fishing will resume tomorrow at Deep Inlet. I am hearing good catch reports this morning for incoming fish.
