Some confusion on rules around jack fishery release adults then after September 15th keep Coho & Chum adults but release all Chinook. Checked with Mike and his response is below. So the rule book means just that no retention of Chinook jacks after September 15th. In this process always the issue of how to limit the impacts on the wild adults and meet the GHMP objectives. I do not recall the conversation but it is on tape.

From Mike:

You are correct that Chinook jacks are not part of the bag limit after Sept. 15. This was presented in the April 8th meeting. All the info from that meeting is on the WDFW site at: https://wdfw.wa.gov/about/advisory/ghsag#meeting-calendar. Let me know if you have any more questions.

I’ll be out of the office the following dates: tomorrow, and Sept. 13-20.
