  • Last week, no king salmon were encountered by the survey.  Last year at this time, it took 87-rod hours and the five-year average was 316-rod hours per fish.  Remember, to fish for kings, anglers must have in possession a 2008 fishing license and a king salmon stamp.
  • Coho fishing was worse last week taking 95-rod hours per fish.  Last year at this time it took 17-rod hours and the five year average was at 6-rod hours.  There were not enough fish caught to calculate hot spots for coho.
