GH update...

Still not set in stone because of the rule-making process, but proposed seasons will be going to the printers for the new rec pamphlet. Consider it a written public notice of the state's proposed season going forward in the rule-making process. Errata will be issued if there are changes after the CR 102/103 filings.

Compared to last years season, expect no chinook retention with generous WILD coho retention on the Chehalis side, and no WILD coho retention on the Hump side.

Other add-ons: A jack fishery in August is proposed, as well a marine 2-C fishery for early Hump chinook.

Take backs: This is completely new. Area 2-B is proposed to be closed for the bay fishery... no salmon trolling west of the JR marker for further conservation of Hump-origin WILD coho.
