3 pintails
« on: July 03, 2025, 07:10:22 PM »
Just had to cancel my first trip ever of sockeye fishing on the Columbia or anywhere because the days I had planned on going are now closed as of today!  The days open a limit of 2 sockeye.  To make this waterfowl related it looks like we might be able to bag 3 pintails per day 7 day per week most weeks during the waterfowl season to compare.

Bummer bouts the goose limit decrease. Any reasons? Last season had crazy cackler and dusky numbers along the coast.

Main reason for goose season decrease is population declines among some species of cackling geese and lesser Canadas. The big Western Canadas are doing fine.

Got a link to the numbers? From Willapa to Tillamook I've seen huge increases in numbers. Willamette valley seems to have strong numbers.

I don't have a link, but you could email Kyle Spragens with WDFW to ask for the numbers. The data presented at the last WAG meeting and may also be in the meeting minutes on the WDFW website.

I like your resilience.    :tup: :tup:

Everyone has to be resilient especially the local businesses that depend on that fishery.  I had to pivot from planned spending for gas, food, license, and lodging around Brewster area and instead took that time and money to Yellowstone.
