From April to August, Area 12 anglers conducted an estimated 37,292 boat trips and kept 48,682 coho, 39,644 pink, 14,719 chinook, 2,015 sockeye and 162 chum salmon, as well as 14,740 rockfish, 1,212 lingcod and 1,304 halibut.

The chinook catch consisted of 48% age 4 fish, 29% age 3, 21% age 5 and older and 2% age 2 fish"--Abstract, page vi.
