Naselle River coho catch limit increases beginning next month


Salmon anglers heading to the Naselle River will soon be able to keep some extra coho salmon for the BBQ grill or next holiday meal.

State Fish and Wildlife is boosting the daily limit to six fish and up to three adults may be retained of which only two may be wild coho with a minimum size limit of 12 inches from Dec. 1 through Jan. 31 from the Hwy. 101 Bridge to the Crown Mainline (Salme) Bridge. Anglers will need to release chum and wild chinook.

Fisheries managers say the coho return to the Naselle River and the Naselle Hatchery is good enough meet conservation goals and hatchery spawning requirements.
