Was fishing today and found some people leaving with 3 fish (each). I was perplexed. I watched these guys catch these fish on bobber and eggs, they looked legit and when I talked to them they were very pleasant. The issue was, the limit very clearly (I thought) was 2 fish. They explained that the regs are not clear.

Here is what it says: Min. size 12". Daily limit 6 of which 1 wild COHO and up to 2 adults may be retained. Release CHINOOK.

So....Two hatchery and one wild then? Its the "and" that confusing people. I didn't risk it and only took my two (one "unclipped" and a hatchery). Should it say "of which 1 may be wild"?

I didn't call DFW or anything, these guys didn't take me as the poaching types. I don't know the proper channels to get the rules clarified. Maybe someone here could forward the confusion along to WDFW (or maybe you have an in with someone at region 6).
