In-season Management Actions:
Effective Friday, August 17, the Westport, La Push, and Neah Bay areas were opened to recreational salmon fishing seven days per week. On August 23, 5,000 coho were transferred from the Westport area quota to the Columbia River area quota with a resulting increase in the Columbia River area quota of 4,250 when lower Columbia River natural coho impacts were considered. This modifies the Westport area quota from 43,510 to 38,510 and the Columbia River area quota from 58,800 to 63,050. On August 23, the Columbia River area was closed effective 11:59 p.m. Saturday August 25. On August 30, the Columbia River area was reopened effective Sunday, September 2. On August 30, 10,000 coho were transferred from the Westport area quota to the Columbia River area quota with a resulting increase in the Columbia River area quota of 8,400 when lower Columbia River natural coho impacts were considered. This modifies the Westport area quota from 38,510 to 28,510 and the Columbia River area quota from 63,050 to 71,450.
