Possible ocean salmon shutdown

You guys didn't really feel like fishing the ocean for salmon this year anyway, right?

"Ocean sport fishery options north of Cape Falcon in Oregon and off the Washington coast are focused on Chinook salmon this year, with mark-selective Chinook fishing alternatives for June; and July-August fisheries, which are not mark-selective. Chinook recreational quotas range from 30,000 to 58,600. For coho, one alternative allows modest coastwide opportunity for 37,800 hatchery coho in July and August. One alternative permits limited coho fishing only in the Columbia River area between Cape Falcon and Leadbetter Point, with a coho quota of 14,700 hatchery coho that starts in late June and runs into September. One alternative is closed to all non-Indian recreational and commercial fishing north of Cape Falcon in response to concerns over extremely low forecasts. In a year like this, it is appropriate to see the effects of complete protection for key Washington coastal and Puget Sound wild coho stocks."

  Let's all hope the coho prediction is wrong.
  Predictions for chinook coming up the Colombia River are nearly one million fish. Haven't heard too much about the rest of the PNW , but hopefully the numbers will be good too.

  I think I know where I'll be spending time on the water this year.
