How to Read Dog Salmon River Counts

Daily passage: Shows how many fish moved past the counting sonar, weir, or tower station that specific day.

Season total: Shows the cumulative run total counted so far this season.

Run pacing: Compares this year’s progress against the same calendar days in prior years to assess timing.

Telemetry counts are a helpful signal for run timing, but they are not fish limits or legal openings. Always confirm rules before heading out.
