Description
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in consultation with the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC), the State of Oregon, the State of Washington, and fishery representatives met Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2025, via conference call and have taken the following in-season management action related to the recreational ocean salmon fishery in the area from Leadbetter Point, Washington to Cape Falcon, Oregon: ACTIONS TAKEN: Effective 12:01 AM Saturday, August 30, 2025, the recreational fishery in the area between Cape Falcon and Leadbetter Point (Columbia River Subarea) is open to fishing for salmon. Two salmon per day, no more than one of which may be a Chinook. All coho must be marked with a healed adipose fin clip. Columbia River Control Zone is closed. Effective 12:01 AM Sunday, August 31, 2025, the recreational fishery in the area between Cape Falcon and Leadbetter Point (Columbia River Subarea) is closed to fishing for salmon. Possession of salmon on board a vessel is prohibited in the Columbia River Subarea. RATIONALE AND NOTES: The recreational ocean salmon fishery from Cape Falcon to the U.S./Canada border was closed on August 19, as it was anticipated that the coho quota would be reached. Catch estimates through the 19th indicate 93% of the coho quota has been taken, leaving approximately 3,400 coho remaining. The decision was made to reopen the fishery for one additional day, Saturday August 30, 2025, to allow access to the remaining quota, while also minimizing the risk of exceeding the quota.
