I believe it is open daily for salmon.

https://fortress.wa.gov/dfw/erules/efishrules/erule.jsp?id=1583

Also from the new rules proclamation,
Quote:
Open through
Sept. 30, 2015
CHINOOK - min. size 24". COHO - min. size 16". Other SALMON species - no min.
size. Daily limit 2 (combined). Only 1 CHINOOK may be retained. Release wild COHO.
Season may close earlier if quota of 52,840 hatchery COHO or 27,900 CHINOOK
guideline is attained. Grays Harbor Control Zone CLOSED beginning Aug. 10,

Slabhunter is correct. Open 7 days a week. Keep unclipped coho and any fin wins with kings.

Believe the regulation requires the release of wild (unclipped coho).

As others said, open 7 days, release WILD coho, min size 24" for chinook

Bone up on your fish ID 'cause there's a LOT of pinks out there right now.

Some folks are mistaking them for shaker kings.... others for silvers.

ALL are adipose intact, so lots have been released by mistake thinking they are wild coho.

Not a big deal if you don't wanna keep any pinks, but if you are struggling to fill your 2 fish bag, it could make a difference in terms of meat for the box.

And yes the pinks count toward the 2 fish bag.

Sorry Doc, but that made me chuckle. Pretty sure I've never ever released a fish by mistake. Even clipped chinook. wink

Saturday look like CRAP...

Sat
S wind 15 to 25 kt. Wind waves 2 to 4 ft. W swell 4 ft.


Probably NOT do-able in my boat unless that dam wind lets up a bit.
