Recreational Sportsmen Harvest for Kings Cut 40%
« on: April 11, 2018, 05:50:37 PM »
Some interesting quotes:

"The overall harvest for recreational fishermen off Washington will be capped at 27,500 fish, a nearly 40 percent drop from the past year."

"Under the plan approved by the council, commercial fishermen who are not part of tribes will be able to catch 27,500 chinook, the same number as for sportsmen.

Tribal ocean harvests north of Cape Falcon will be set at 40,000 chinook. This tribal allocation is the same as last year, according to Jennifer Gilden, a council staffer. But it is down from years past when the runs were more abundant."

Boy, I'm glad I haven't bought a salmon license for the last few years.

It's tough to set big ocean seasons when there are a few limiting stocks.  All those fish are commingled in the ocean and you can't control what you kill.  Some locations will have great fishing and robust seasons.
