THE FISHING REPORT: Salmon season opens this weekend – by Hunt Conrad
Season openers are always a great source of optimism but there is no greater fishing opener than the ocean salmon season. This year’s ocean salmon season opener is being met with higher than normal expectations because of the tremendously high projection by the Pacific Fisheries Management Council for the amount of Salmon that are swimming in our oceans. This was based on the higher than normal jack (juvenile salmon) returns to the rivers last fall. Many in the know are cautiously optimistic because their projections have been known to be wildly inaccurate.
