Looks like just August, JK (with a note that "regulation may change"). That rule should be especially for downriggers, although someone will probably try using some 10-16 oz. balls made from another type of metal.
I'm wondering about the Area 9 season which they listed as Aug.1-Aug 31, then in the same sentence say "release chum from Aug.1 through Sept.30!" Wonder if that's a typo...
Atleast we can fish salmon from shore again, in Areas 5&6; guess they heard from enough ticked off beach fishers last year!
