Action: Re-opens salmon fishing in Marine Area 10
Effective date: Feb. 24 through Mar. 31, 2022.
Species affected: Salmon.
Location: Marine Area 10.
Rule: Open for salmon fishing Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays only, until further notice; salmon daily limit is one (1). Chinook minimum size is 22". Other salmon, no minimum size. Release wild Chinook.
Reason for action: The Marine Area 10 winter Chinook fishery was paused in mid-January after reaching 24% of the total encounters (8,475), 25% of sublegal encounters (7,319) and 46% of unmarked encounters (1,105) agreed to in this year's List of Agreed Fisheries (LOAF), in order to preserve opportunity for February and March. After consulting with the Puget Sound Sports Fishing Advisory Group, WDFW will reopen the fishery with a three day per week schedule and one fish limit on February 24th.
