Title: Salmon Age ID?
Post by: swanny on September 16, 2011, 12:21:40 PM: Just reading through the regs for the Puyallup never can remember what has to be released if it's wild.

Anyway, how can you determine if a fish is Adult or Juvenile? It says you can keep 6 but only 4 can be adult. Do fish carry ID cards now? :tung:

and sockeye salmon 12" or more in length, are

Post by: ac_156 on September 16, 2011, 02:02:00 PM: remember the regs say 4 adults of wich any two can be Coho, Chinook or chum or a combination. most people don't understand that. have seen a lot of tickets written, can be very expensive.
