Pretty sure it opens for hatchery steelhead, not coho.

I stand corrected, I just looked it up on the WDFW website. I did not realize that was a viable fishery already. I know they've been working on them for a while in there. Nice to have another opportunity! I will now go mind my own business banging on stuff in the garage.

Most fish won't break 16-17", and they have selective gear rules (no bait, single barbless hooks, artificial lures/flies only) and you can only keep one fish.
