Chinook Limit Increases to Two in Ocean Fisheries

As of tomorrow, August 1st the limit for Chinook salmon will be increased from one to two per day. The National Marine Fisheries Management Council and the states of Washington and Oregon have determined with the catch data through July 26 that the recreational anglers have only caught 24% of the alloted quota, and with the historical data less than 50% of the quota will be caught in August thus the increase in the limits. The bag limit increase will be in effect from the US / Canadian border to Cape Falcon, Oregon.

Make sure to consult your area regulations for size and bag limits.
