that makes me angry face!!!!
There is officially going to be a native coho fishery on the Siuslaw this year....The details have not yet been announced.....as if this river doesn't already get too much pressure...way to go ODFW
eh.. they are just gunna run the good coho population out of town. id still wait atleast a few more years before doing that.
The chinook populations on the Alsea and Siuslaw are in far better shape than the coho. This is about maximum opportunity. I think the coho populations should rebound more, less than 2 decades ago they were listed as threatened. There is likely going to be a season on the Nestucca, and possibly the Wilson and Trask. I think it is too soon, so I'll do my part and not retain any wild coho. It's up to anglers to protect a resource when odfw wants to gamble. My .02
Like I said, they like to err on the WAY-safe side. lol!
The coho population has been booming for a long time. It's increased annually. They probably could've safely opened it up to retention on the siuslaw five years ago, .
