thanks Bill ,, was wondering what was going on out there..

Doesn't look so hot, but it looks like the coho are improving. Thanks for posting the update.

Thanks for sharing, trying to make it out this weekend. Bob

Neah Bay has done OK for Chinook in week 26 & 27 at .86 per angler trip. Most others not so much.

WDFW staff has done a good job of posting current figures for all the sites, Neah Bay to the Columbia River

Good information...use it to pick your fishery...

Looking for simialr chart for MAine Aareas east o f Area 4 and Puget Sound. Could not find the "% of catch" or "quota"-type page for the UPCOMING Area 9/10 fishery. (Yes, I know its not open yet, and will be quick anyway.)

Can anyone post the link for Puget Sound quota tracking?

This should work

looking at the creel counts, I am a bit surprised how many coho are showing up in the northern 11 area and area 10.. Is it normal to have that many this early? Shilshole shows approx. .5 coho per angler and no Chinook for area 10 yesterday, while Redondo shows .25 coho per angler in area 11.

Not unusual on the coho.
Have had some great days in the past starting in early July.
Too bad MA 9 didn’t open at its normal time.
I can guarantee there would be some good coho fishing there right now as well.

No quota or % caught columns.

Lots of resident Coho out there.

The most recent FRAM information I have for Area 9 shows:

Legal Marked 4,013
Legal Unmarked 959
Sublegal Marked 3,919
Sublegal Unmarked 444
Total 9,335
Total Legal 4,972
Total Unmarked 1,403

Harvest Quota 3,491
