What ports are included, I don't know my Mountians & capes well enough?

[Tryin2Fish]

The salmon/halibut sports regs on the odfw home page has a rough map of the coast and the sections that are referenced in the regs and news releases. I would post the thing but can't figure out how.

heres a link, view the whole page and you will see them.

ODFW Fishing Regs

Thanks for the link. So looks like the Astoria area is still open, I wonder for how long?

Uneffected by this closure is the salmon fishery out of the Columbia River, which season will run to "the earlier of Sept. 3 or subarea sub-quota of 102,500 coho," acording to the ODFW. If you didn't understand the meaning of "subarea sub-quota," you ain't alone.
