Salmon Opens in Marine Area 5, 6 & 7 on July 1

Salmon will open tomorrow in Marine Area 5 (Sekiu and Pillar Point), Marine Area 6 East Juan de Fuca Strait and Marine Area 7 (San Juan Islands) . These areas will open for retention of hatchery Chinook as well as other salmon species. Make sure that you read your regulations thoroughly before you venture out, as there are many suttle differences from area to area. Some have a two Chinook limit, some are just a single fish. In some areas there are areas that are not open to retention of Chinook. Just make sure to read those regulations as the WDFW agents are not in the business of being understanding. Good Luck!
