Glut of hatchery coho doubles two fish limit... Bill Monroe

[Jennie@ifish]

Beginning Saturday, anglers on the Oregon Coast can keep four hatchery coho salmon a day on rivers and estuaries where coho fishing is allowed.
The ODFW decided Thursday to liberalize the two fish limit because a glut of hatchery coho is expected in this year's return.
The ruling includes tributaries of Youngs Bay. The only exception is the Salmon River, where the daily limit will remain two salmon or steelhead.
Anglers also are allowed only two chinook a day.
The daily limit will remain three hatchery coho or hatchery steelhead in any combination in the Willamette (entire system), Clackamas and Sandy rivers.
Oregon and Washington also set the first commercial coho seasons for downriver gill-netters on the Columbia.
Coho will be netted downriver from Longview from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Wednesday.
Chinook will be netted from Interstate 205 upriver Monday evening from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Treaty tribes are netting fish above Bonneville Dam and selling to the public at several areas from Cascade Locks upriver.
