By all information already known we should be in store for a decent Coho salmon season this summer. The following illustrates what was some of the input at the meeting about the (selective season-only can keep adipose fin clipped fish) and the (non-selective -keep any legal sized fish caught). As was stated above this is preliminary information only as the final decision will be made by the PFMC along with the ODFW at there April meeting, April 2-11.
