To quote our local newspaper, the 2011 forecast for red salmon is "sunny". Pat Shields, assistant area management biologist for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game of Commercial Fisheries projects a total red salmon run of 6.4 million in the Upper Cook Inlet with a harvest expectation of 4.4 to 4.8 million fish. This is about a million more fish than last year.
Do I hear a "YEAH, BABY!" out there in cyberland?

1 million is a nice number but keep in mind that is for the entire Upper Cook Inlet. History has shown that the Kenai usually gets a significant bump when the projection goes up. What actually makes it to the Kenai remains to be seen.
