They are.......for chum.


Chum salmon fishing reopens in central Puget Sound beginning Wednesday (Oct. 28) through Jan. 31.

The area – commonly referred to anglers as Marine Catch Area 10 – was closed to all fishing on Oct. 19 after state Fish and Wildlife biologist said anglers were getting near the chinook encounter guideline ceiling.

State fisheries has now determined that a chum fishery in the area will have minimal interactions with chinook.

The daily limit will be two chum salmon. All chinook and coho must be released.
