ODFW release - The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in consultation with the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC), the State of Washington, the State of Oregon, and advisory body members met Thursday and have taken the following in-season management actions related to the commercial troll salmon season from the US/Canada Border to Cape Falcon, Oregon:  ACTIONS TAKEN:  Effective May 1, modify the quota for the May-June North of Falcon commercial ocean salmon troll fishery that opens May 1, 2026 to 37,300 Chinook, no more than 5,590 of which may be caught in the area between Leadbetter Point and Cape Falcon.  Effective May 1, modify the landing and possession limit in the subarea between Leadbetter Point and Cape Falcon to 80 Chinook per vessel per landing week (Thursday through Wednesday) from May 1 to May 13.  Effective May 14 modify the landing and possession limit in the subarea between Leadbetter Point and Cape Falcon to 50 Chinook per vessel per landing week (Thursday through Wednesday).  RATIONALE:  These in-season actions are in response to new information on stock abundances, conservation constraints and expected fishing patterns that were not available at the time the 2025 regulations were formulated and adopted, e.g., the 2026 forecasts, conservation objectives that are updated annually based on the abundance forecasts for that year. These actions are required to ensure the fisheries are consistent with conservation objectives while providing fishery opportunity and maximizing economic potential.  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.  Visit https://www.dfw.state.or.us/MRP/salmon/ for more information on Oregon's ocean salmon seasons and fisheries.
