Ocean Reports - Chinook

With the ocean Chinook fisheries opening this past weekend here's a little rundown on this past weekends results:

Columbia River Area:
June 18 & 19 - 135 anglers with 136 Chinook - 1.01 Chinook per angler trip

Westport:
June 18 & 19 - 1,375 anglers with 630 Chinook - .46 Chinook per angler trip

La Push:
June 18 & 19 - 42 anglers with 10 Chinook - .23 Chinook per angler trip

Neah Bay :
June 18 & 19 - 216 anglers with 81 Chinook - .38 Chinook per angler trip

Overall, I wouldn't say that the fishing was outstanding by any means. I was not surprised as the commercial salmon trollers were not finding any outstanding fishing prior to the sports opener. I suppose the only good thing is that we still have good numbers of fish to catch with the 4,800 June Chinook Quota.
