Washington regulations identifies a chinook salmon LESS than 24 inches as a Jack Salmon. That would make the 24 incher an adult. Whereas Oregon regulations identifies an adult chinook salmon OVER 24 inches as an adult. That would make the 24 incher a Jack Salmon. So what is the 24 incher.... What say you?
Stick'em
I say no LEO is looking at a jack on the line of being a jack and measuring it. Not like a sturgeon that’s on the line. 23 7/8 or 24 1/8 I don’t think you need to worry much.
His point about following home state regs is valid though.I see you know a lot about discussion. Fourteen posts is four years.
If fishing with a Washington license, 24” chinook and 20” coho are considered adults. Therefore, 23 15/16” and under chinook are considered jacks. 19 15/16” and under coho are considered jacks.
If fishing with an Oregon license, follow the Oregon regs.
Obviously, things would be a lot simpler if both states used the same measurements to determine adults vs. jacks.
I know. My internet knowledge about bumper length hath runneth over. Thought I'd start something different. How about the states' difference with the nets. If WA doesn't net and OR does in OR water, can WA buyers buy what WA may consider illegal fish? Just a thought..
