6/20/08 ACTION NOTICE: NOAA Fisheries in consultation with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, representatives from the recreational fishery, and the Pacific Fishery Management Council, has taken in-season action to modify the recreational salmon fishery in the area from Leadbetter Pt., Washington to Cape Falcon, Oregon (Columbia River Ocean Area).
ACTION TAKEN: The daily bag limit in this area will increase from one chinook per angler to two chinook per angler effective Saturday, June 21. In addition, during the all salmon season which is scheduled to open on Sunday, June 29, the daily bag limit will be all salmon, two salmon per day, and all retained coho must have a healed adipose fin clip.
RATIONALE: At the request of the fishing community, the bag limit adjustment was considered. The season structure in the area and the separate sub-limit on chinook was initially adopted to reduce the chance of exceeding the chinook quota early. After reviewing the first three weeks of the fishery, it appears that going to a bag limit that will include two chinook has a minimal chance of reaching the quota early.
