Big Fish Hit the Nush!
|
A nice push of quality Kings has started up the Nushagak. The cooler weather accompanied with variable winds and light rain enabled our clients' catch of 25 Kings today, including three fish in the 30 lb range. Hopes of catching even larger Kings tomorrow are as high as the tide!

Marco Rivera's Catch of the Day, June 25th, 2010
|
Game continue's.. 2nd Quarter..
The day started with Marco's watch being reset to a earlier time by several hours. However, those that thought this would keep a good man down had somethin to learn about the early bird catching the worm. Guess who has the big fish? Yup, Marco. Team crew members filled him up in the before game meeting room with great coffee, protein, and carbs. He was a lean mean fishing machine!

June 2010-Week 1- Bristol Bay Fishing Report
|
Let the games begin…
This week’s clients scored with a change in the weather and the first kickoff of Kings. Joe Andruzzi and buddy Cade Morgan, 11, show off their Nushagak fair catches with pride. 10 extremely competitive fishermen all caught fish, from healthy Chums to sizeable Kings.
The latest stats for the group have Joe in first place with the 30.8lb. King. Drew Anderson, 13, is a close running second with 27lb. King. After the lunch huddle, the teams will be out rushing to intercept more fish with a sweep extending well beyond the line of scrimmage.
Some officiating maybe needed through the remainder of the week as young Cade, along his teammate Marco Rivera, pulled a blitz, leaving Cade's dad Bruce, napping on the sidelines, so they could get a head start on the fishing. Also, some of the team members are fumbling with sabotage plans for Joe, who will now be keeping strong possession of his rod and reel.

2008 NUSHAGAK RIVER CHINOOK SALMON FORECAST
is provided below.
FORECAST AREA: Bristol Bay, Nushagak District
SPECIES: Chinook Salmon
FORECAST OF 2008 RUN
Forecast
Forecast Range
TOTAL PRODUCTION: (thousands) (thousands)
Total Run 160 87–233
Inriver Run Goal a 75
Commercial Common Property Harvest 85
a The Nushagak inriver goal is 75,000 Chinook salmon based on 5 AAC 06.361Nushagak-Mulchatna King Salmon
Management Plan.
A total of 160,000 Chinook salmon are forecast to return to the Nushagak River in 2008. This
forecast is 1.1% less than the 10-year mean (162,000; range of 77,000 in 2000 to 245,000 in
2005). The 80% confidence bounds for the forecast ranged from 87,000 to 233,000. A run of
160,000 Chinook salmon can potentially produce a harvest of 85,000 fish. We anticipate an
actual harvest closer to 56,000 based on the average exploitation rate of 36% during the previous
5 years (2003–2007).
A simple average of recent returns was used to forecast age-1.1 and age-1.2 Chinook salmon. A
Ricker stock-recruitment model using spawning escapements and total returns was used to forecast
age-1.3 abundance. The best age-1.4 model was based on the relationship between sibling
returns in succeeding years (e.g., age-1.3 returns for 2007). The best age-1.5 model was based
on the log normal relationship between adult returns (recruits) and spawners.
Age composition of the forecasted total run is <1% (<1,000) age-1.1, 33% (53,000) age-1.2, 45%
(56,000) age-1.3, 32% (48,000) age-1.4, and 1% (2,000) age-1.5.
2008 Nushagak River Chinook Salmon Forecast Issued November 9, 2007
Alaska Department of Fish and Game Page 2 of 2 Division of Commercial Fisheries
The 2008 Nushagak District Chinook salmon forecast is the sum of individual predictions of five
age classes (age-1.1, -1.2, -1.3, -1.4, and -1.5). Data sets in the analyses included adult
escapement and return data from brood years 1978–2005.
Predictions for each age class were calculated from models based on the relationship between
adult returns and spawners or siblings from previous years. Tested models included simple
linear regressions and averages. The models chosen were those with statistically significant
parameters having the greatest past reliability (accuracy and precision) based on mean absolute
deviation, mean absolute percent error, and mean percent error between forecasts and actual
returns for the years 2005 through 2007.
The forecast range was the upper and lower values of the 80% confidence bounds for the total
run forecast. The confidence bounds were calculated using deviations of actual runs from
published run predictions for the 2001 through 2007 runs.
There is always uncertainty when forecasting returns of Chinook salmon to the Nushagak River.
The 2008 forecast is no different than previous years. The greatest uncertainty in the 2008
forecast is predicting the return of age-1.3 and -1.4 Chinook salmon. The 2007 return of age 1.2
Chinook salmon was the largest in the last 20 years. We do not know what the effect of the large
2007 age-1.2 return will be on the return of age-1.3 fish in 2008. In addition, we over-forecast
both age-1.3 (160% above) and age-1.4 (122% above) Chinook salmon in 2007. The actual
returns of both age-1.3 and age-1.4 Chinook salmon were substantially lower than what we
forecast to return in 2007. We have also had fairly large forecast differences for age-1.3 and
age-1.4 Chinook salmon in the last 5 years. Forecast differences in the past 5-years (2003–2007)
for Chinook salmon age-1.3 have ranged from 41% below in 2004 to 160% above in 2007 and
age-1.4 have ranged from <1% above in 2003 to 122% above in 2007.
Similar methods have been used to produce the Nushagak Chinook salmon forecast since 2001.
The forecasts have varied widely in the last 5 years (2003–2007). The forecast run differences
have ranged from 59% below in 2004 to 41% above in 2007. Overall, there has been a tendency
for the forecasts to be biased low and expected harvests to be high. The five previous total run
forecasts (2003–2007) have averaged 3% below the total run. The expected harvests have
averaged 75% above the actual harvest for the last 5 years. The expected harvest differences
have ranged from 43% below in 2004 to 63% above in 2005 and 2007. There is greater
uncertainty around the 2008 forecast because of total run being 41% below forecast in 2007.
ADF&G does not know how this will impact the 2008 forecast.
