The Sekiu season is for hatchery fish only, no wild fish, so the season will last a lot longer, probably until the closure date in the middle of August. You can also keep two hatchery chinook per day, if you are lucky enough to find two. The bonus of the season up there is for the folks who want to run about 5 miles west and fish in area 4. There you can retain up to 3 fish a day, providing that you have two silvers and a pink, or up to three pinks.

There is a confusing statement fro area 4 where they say "Chinook non-retention east of Bonilla-Tatoosh line, except chinook retention allowed July 1-31." So my guess is you can keep ANY Chinook dury July west of the Sekiu River and it will fall on the Neah Bay quota, not the Area 5 (Sekiu) quota. I have to call on this one for clarification.

Another bonus is August where you can keep up to 4 fish a day, limit two hatchery silvers or kings (kings up until and including the 14th) AND two pinks!.

Should be a fun fishery, but the challenge will be sorting through all the wild fish to find you bonkers. Two years ago is took 53 fish to fill 5 limits on my boat one day, but then again, we caught 53 fish. wink
