Heard quota super close and PS 10 to close tomorrow @ midnight? Can anyone verify? My buddies have been drinking after another good day and I don't know if they are rubbing it in or not.

Done. Thanks. Was a good run for kings in 9 and 10. Glad to see good numbers when runs were suppose to be dismal according to forecasts. I think Coho is gonna be a good one also. Good Luck!

I'm no fan of cutting the season short but I am thankful for good fishing in 2018. There's still time to fish Area11 and drop down into Area 13 on occasion. Add that to what looks to be a good Coho season still in Area 10 plus a terminal fishery and we're in a year that will be remembered fondly.

Yes, a great run in volume, with the majority of catch seeming to be a bit smaller, 8-12 lb range for us. Yesterday appeared really slow for kings at Kingston, with the parking lot stilll full at 1:00. Looked like the fish were moving out anyway...hopefully they'll hit Area 11 for you guys down south!

Bring on the cohos! I put 2 in the box so far.

Yep, I prefer Coho over King for eating. Much leaner and more abundant. Not to mention Silvers aerial stunts. Good luck.

It's a shame it closed so soon, there were some LARGE chinook starting to regularly make an appearance in the mix at the popular 10 haunts...

That said there are some coho around and there have been some willing biters. Looks like it could be a sweet silver season, FINALLY!
