Cool graph and interesting from a Southender's view. From this narrow vantage, I'd never have thought browns and cohos would be displayed in similar numbers. I'd never have thought steelhead would be represented with such bountiful numbers. Odd that everything seemed to bottom out in the 90s. I know there was BKD and EMS problems in kings and cohos, but why the dip in steel and lakers? I had no idea in the late 70s lake trout were as abundant as they are now. I'd have expected it would show a steady increase over time.
Since this is in kilotons, I assume this is a snapshot of the weight present of the various species at some particular point each year. If anything, it looks from a Southender point of view - we could stand about a 10 fold increase in the number of cohos planted in the lake.
