just talked to a buddy of mine fishing down there and he watched a guy get a ticket for having a chinook jack today.  There also some big coho around so make sure you can tell the difference between nooks and hoho's

OK, so how do you tell a chinook from a chinook jack?

So, does the bay start just inside the bridge?

[kiawanda jr]

the Young's bay select area is south of the 101 bridge so does that mean a different location code on our harvest card if we are north of the bridge

astoria is code 1   
bouy 10 to tonge point is 211
I cant find a code for youngs bay

[coosbayyaker]

Taking off right now!

I'll be there fairly early today, if anyones around come find me at Kampers West and give me a holler..Got a few extra beers...

These regs are confusing.  For Young's bay it doesn't say anything in the special regs about keeping one non-adipose fin-clipped Chinook like it does for other areas.  Under the permanent regs it indicates that Youngs bay is open for fall Chinook salmon Aug. 1-Dec 31, but still does not mention anything about fin clips.  Does this mean we can keep 2 Chinooks regardless if they have a fin or not, or can we keep one adipose fin-clipped and one non fin clipped Chinook or two fin clipped Chinook?
