It’s great news for ocean fishing and CR guys!! Increased coho quota! Sucks for everyone else downstream. Looks like reduced seasons, reduced bag limits on coho, chinook, pinks and, since it was over Chum that the tribes walked out of North of Falcon over, I bet Chum fishing is reduced as well.

Picked the wrong time to start fishing in MA7. Hard to swallow with commercial harvest staying the same or with a modest reduction and massive reductions in terminal areas.

Yeah, MA 7 is taking a huge hit. Not only lost Aug but also January blackmouth. All after losing Sept kings and December blackmouth in the recent past.

So what Are the details for MA 10? Is it going to be concurrent with Elliott Bay and that’s it?

MA 10 has a chinook quota of 3,057 fish this year.
MA 9 is 3,500 chinook.
Those quotas won't last long.

Very vague on the coho seasons so far, at least from what I have found.

With those quotas, 2 weeks tops for MA 9 & 10. Sad, but 2 weeks is better than zero weeks like a couple of summers ago.

Maybe I just suck at fishing MA7 but it doesn't seem like the salmon fishing season was ever hot/good until mid-late august thru september anyways. i know some people get the odd fish in July but its kind of a joke to even have it open at this point when my experience is lots of gas usage and good weather but no fish. Aren't most of the chinook passing thru the islands headed up towards the Fraser anyways? Are the Canadians managing for our rivers? Coho arent there in numbers until September (hope this is still open).

I guess my next best thing is to learn how to pull sockeye out of the saltwater reliably.

Blackmouth is a bummer but they are being consistent on all seasons so I cant be too mad. I've been doing the New Years day blackmouth for the past couple of years and that's just not gonna happen I guess.

Does anyone have numbers for the Puyallup and Nisqually? With all the reductions else where, there should be a ton of fish coming back. Last year in the South Sound there were a ton of kings. I had talked to a guy that said he through back 10 one day in October, trying to find some silvers.

I find it odd, and probably telling, most of the other rivers have the seasons included, including a new open season on Minter Creek, but these two rivers are left out. My guess is that the Seasons are very one sided and they do not want anyone to know about it until later in the year.

Not sure what the seasons will be on the Puyallup or Nisqually, but the chinook forecast numbers are 14,731 for the Puyallup and 21,047 on the Nisqually.

I noticed nothing about the Skagit seasons either other then spring chinook.
