Washington area to reopen for salmon fishing - FishNews - 09-08-2009
Action: Marine Area 1 will reopen to salmon fishing seven days a week starting Sept. 7.
Effective date: Sept. 7, through Sept. 30, 2009.
Species affected: Chinook, coho and pink salmon
Location: Marine Area 1 from Leadbetter Point to Cape Falcon, Oregon.
Reason for action: The Marine Area 1 coho sub-area quota has enough coho left over to provide more angling opportunity.
Other information: Marine Area 1 will remain open through Sept. 30, unless the quota is reached before that date.
