a little clarification please.

[ResQ]

while fishing the puke, it says in the regs daily limit 6, 4 adults and up to 2 of those may be chinook, ho ect....

My take on it is you get 4 pinks and two of those can be king, ho, chum.

Ran into a guy today that says you can get 4 pinks AND 2 additional king or ho or chum. which is it? lol

I was asked the same question today I thought and still think ti is 4 but I never looked that far into it... I will have to read or next time I pass a warden I will ask them.. it would make since 6 being 4 of those Pinks and the other 2 coho king or chum... and would make my day also... just means I can still fish when I have my 4 pinks and I am chasing a Silver.

Its four adult fish only. The four fish can includes a max of 2 coho, 2 kings or 2 chums. So that means you can catch 2 coho and 2 pinks. Or 2 coho and 2 kings. The limit of 6 means that you can keep 2 jack (juvenile) coho or kings. Remember that once you have your adult portion (4 adult salmon), you must stop fishing. Release all wild kings as well,

[ResQ]

Ok. That is exactly what I thought. So now, how does one tell the difference between adult and juvenile?

[returnofthefish]

jack king is less than 24" and jack coho less than 20" from page 19 in the reg book.

[ResQ]

Thanks man.

The reg is actually Min. size 12". Daily limit 6. Up to 4 adults may be retained, of which
only 2 may be any combination of CHINOOK, COHO and CHUM.
Release wild adult CHINOOK.

Which if I read it correctly it says you may only keep a combination of two of those fish not 4. example would be 1 coho 1 king and two pinks. It's an additional limit to allow retention of pinks not two more coho chinook or chum.

[returnofthefish]

I stand corrected by Steelheadman12. Thanks for correcting me.

I thought it was only 2 coho or Kings thank gawd I released the other 2 I had on the line.. I was on fire with Silvers today. kept 2 as allowed but wanted to trade one out as I caught 2 Hatchery Silvers today! and 4 Natives! funny thing I only caught 5 pinks all day catch and released them all day... I should of kept the last 2....

But I want to re-cap as I am more confused now than Before....


total of 6 fish?

4 pinks

2 any other/combo?

as long as 2 of them are Juvis and not adults?

[Bodofish]

Here we go... these always get more confusing as they go along.....

6 fish total.

The six can be made up of 4 adult pinks and 2 juve King or Coho or 2 adult pinks and any combination of 2 adult King or Coho and 2 Juve King or Coho Or 3 adult pinks and 1 adult King or Coho and 2 Juve, you pick em.

Do we need more choices????


To recap: You may keep no more than 6 fish. Up to 4 of the fish must be adult with no more than 2 being Coho or King. In addition to the 4 adults you may keep 2 juve King or coho or combo. The juve fish must be caught before the Adult limit is caught.

There clear as mud! Gotta love the river regs......
