The buzz over a higher Chinook projection this year has so far been somewhat verified with several days of excellent Chinook fishing during Easter week and Chinook remains open through Oct. 31. Coho selective season opens on July 1 this year and runs through July 31 or 8,000 fish. That’s kind of a small quota – but in September we get some bonus time to make up for it. Limit is 2 fin-clipped coho per person per day. Coho non-selective season opens September 1-3 and will behave a little … Read entire article »

Well ODFW couldn’t make up their minds for a while, but we’re sure happy they did and found in our favor! The non-selective salmon season is now September 1-10 ALL DAYS, not just Thurs-Sat like it was before, AND we now have a quota of 5,600 fish instead of 3,000.

The Salmon bite was good, but there weren’t any keepers on the Gracie K before they changed over to bottom fishing. Some other sport boats have reported finding some fish yesterday though, so looks like fishing will be great for our next trip on Wednesday! Bottom fishing has … Read entire article »
