As many predicted, more for 10, no more for 9.



Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
July 22, 2025

Marine Area 10 (Seattle and Bremerton Area) opens for three additional days of salmon fishing
Action: Opens Chinook salmon retention.

Effective date: July 24 through July 26, 2025.

Species affected: Chinook salmon.

Location: Marine Area 10, except: Shilshole Bay and waters of Elliott Bay east of a line from West Point to Alki Point remain closed to salmon fishing. Sinclair Inlet and Port Orchard, Agate Pass Area, and year-round piers (Bremerton Boardwalk, Illahee State Park, Seacrest Pier, and Waterman Pier) follow rules listed in the 2025-26 Washington Sport Fishing Rules pamphlet.

Salmon rules: Daily limit is two salmon including no more than one hatchery Chinook. Chinook minimum size is 22 inches. All other salmon species, no minimum size. Release chum and wild Chinook.

Reason for action: Catch estimates for the Marine Area 10 summer Chinook fishery indicate that through July 20, 30% of the harvest quota (951 of 3,166), and 7% of sublegal encounters (453 of 6,742) have been reached. Based on daily catch rates, sufficient quota remains to allow for this additional opening of the 2025 summer Chinook season.

Information contact: Fish Program, 360 902-2700.

I was planning on going out Friday anyway so will likely be there.  I haven't heard any recent bubble reports, so 10 sounds good.

One more day!

Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
July 23, 2025

Marine Area 7 (San Juan Islands) and Marine Area 9 (Admiralty Inlet) open for an additional day of Chinook salmon fishing
Action: Opens for one day of recreational salmon fishing.

Effective dates: July 25, 2025, only.

Species affected: Salmon.

Locations and rules:

Marine Area 7, except Bellingham Bay:

Daily limit is two including no more than one hatchery Chinook, plus two additional pink salmon may be retained. Chinook minimum size is 22 inches. All other salmon species, no minimum size. Release sockeye, chum, wild Chinook, and wild coho.
Marine Area 9, except waters of the Northern Hood Canal Fishery Area (waters of Area 9 south of a line drawn from Foulweather Bluff to Olele Point):

Daily limit is two including no more than one hatchery Chinook. Chinook minimum size is 22 inches. All other salmon species, no minimum size. Release sockeye, chum, wild Chinook, and wild coho.
Reason for action: Through July 19, catch estimates for the Marine Area 7 summer Chinook fishery indicate that 66% of the harvest quota (1,433 of 2,181), 31% of unmarked encounters (1,046 of 3,368), and 77% of sublegal encounters (1,510 of 1,967) have been reached. Catch estimates for the Marine Area 9 summer Chinook fishery indicate that 69% of the harvest quota (2,681 of 3,900) has been reached.  Based on daily catch rates, sufficient quota remains for both areas to allow for this additional opening of the 2025 summer Chinook season.

Additional information: All areas listed as closed to salmon fishing year-round in the Washington Sport Fishing Rules pamphlet remain closed. The Edmonds Public Fishing Pier remains open under rules and seasons listed in the Washington Sport Fishing Rules pamphlet.

Fishery managers encourage anglers to sign up for Fishing Rule Change email notifications and to check for emergency rules on the WDFW website prior to fishing. See the WDFW Salmon Fishing Current blog: summer and fall 2025 edition for additional Puget Sound Chinook fishery information.

Information contact: Fish Program, 360 902-2700.

Pretty crazy, I would have bet money against it.  It's actually pretty smart, open it all up on the same day and one area won't get clobbered.
