Deshka 6-29

I visited with Sam Ivey at the Palmer fish and game office today. He told me his tech at the weir had been fishing this morning just below the sign hole and caught several fish. He said the river had met escapement for the year, 14,916 as of yesterday, and the run appeared to be about ten days late. Sam indicated that in the past late runs often resulted in a smaller run and that this year may not be like the past two years where there are over 30,000 fish in the river.
