ODFW release - The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in consultation with the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC), the States of Oregon, Washington and California, and advisory body members met today and have taken the following in-season management actions related to the spring and summer commercial troll salmon seasons from the US/Canada Border to Cape Falcon, Oregon: ACTION TAKEN: Effective 12:01 AM Thursday August 20, 2026, landing and possession limit for the commercial troll fishery in the area between the U.S./Canada border and Cape Falcon are 10 Chinook and 100 marked (adipose fin-clipped) coho per vessel per landing week (Thursday-Wednesday). RATIONALE: The current estimates are that there are approximately 3.6% of the 18,700 Chinook quota, and 47.2% of the 19,600 coho quota remaining. The reduction in the Chinook landing and possession limit was made to facilitate access to the coho quota without exceeding the Chinook quota. Fishery participants are reminded that vessels landing salmon into Oregon from any season North of Cape Falcon are required to notify ODFW at least one hour prior to landing by either calling 541-857-2546 or sending notification via email to [email protected]. Notification shall include vessel name and number, number of salmon by species, port of landing, location of delivery, and estimated time of delivery. Additional regulations that apply to vessels fishing out of Oregon, North of Cape Falcon that apply to the 2026 seasons include: • Within 24 hours of any closure of the fishery vessels must land and deliver their salmon. • Vessels landing in Oregon are limited to only fishing between Leadbetter Pt., WA and Cape Falcon, OR. • Vessels landing into Oregon must possess a valid commercial license and a valid troll salmon permit. • Vessels landing into Oregon are limited to locations on the Oregon side of the Columbia River upstream as far as Tongue Pt., the beaches at Gearhart/Seaside and Cannon Beach, or into Garibaldi.
