Salmon fishermen off the California coast will be able to take more fish
this year, according to three potential limits being considered by the
Pacific Fishery Management Council.
Even the most restrictive option would allow ocean sport fisherman to keep
two fish a day, up to six in a week. The season would be closed for 21
days in July.
The other two drafts of possible rules are even better for fishermen. One
version would require only an 11-day closure during July, and the other
would allow fishing throughout the month.
Last year, fisherman were limited to four fish a week during the early
season, and all of July was closed.
Fishery experts say a strong run of Oregon coastal coho salmon is
largely responsible for the looser restrictions.
The Pacific Fishery Management Council will meet in Eureka this week to
consider this year's rules.
