Hatchery Chinook Salmon was good despite

Everyone with a boat was chasing Hatchery Chinook Salmon the past few weeks! We had strong success most days and on other days we released some beautiful wild Chinook salmon. The fishery is managed on a quota which means at some point the state will close the retention of these prized Chinook salmon. We will still find them while fishing for Coho salmon, but they must be released. The fishing this year was extremely crowded as only one marine area was open at a time. Combat fishing but still a great time. The crowds will thin out but the catch and release fishing will remain strong
