ODFW release - The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in consultation with the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC), the State of Washington, the State of Oregon, and advisory body members met today and have taken the following in-season management actions related to the spring and summer commercial troll salmon seasons from the US/Canada Border to Cape Falcon, Oregon: ACTIONS TAKEN: Spring Season: Effective Friday, June 19 at 12:01 AM through Tuesday, June 23 at 11:59 PM the commercial troll fishery in the area between the U.S./Canada border and Cape Falcon is open with a landing and possession limit of 20 Chinook per vessel for the open period. Effective Tuesday, June 23 at 11:59 PM the commercial troll fishery in the area between the U.S./Canada border and Cape Falcon is closed. Vessels must land and deliver their fish within 24 hours. Summer Season: Effective 12:01 AM Wednesday July 1, the landing and possession limit for the commercial troll fishery in the area between the U.S./Canada border and Cape Falcon is 50 Chinook and 50 marked coho per vessel for the period July 1-July 8. Effective 12:01 AM Thursday July 9, the landing and possession limit for the commercial troll fishery in the area between the U.S./Canada border and Cape Falcon is 50 Chinook and 50 marked coho per vessel per landing week (Thursday-Wednesday). RATIONALE: Spring season: The current estimates are that 35,867 of the 37,300 Chinook quota has been taken, leaving 1,433 Chinook remaining. The actions taken reopen the fishery and set the limit at 20 Chinook for the period June 19 through 23. The trip limit has been set as high as safely possible with the intent that it is the last opening of the spring season. Summer season: The preseason plan had a limit of 50 marked coho, but not a Chinook limit for the summer season starting on July 1. Based on the smaller quota for the summer season and catch rates in the spring, it is prudent to start the season with a Chinook limit in place. Fishery participants are reminded that vessels landing salmon into Oregon from any season North of Cape Falcon are required to notify ODFW at least one hour prior to landing by either calling 541-857-2546 or sending notification via email to [email protected]. Notification shall include vessel name and number, number of salmon by species, port of landing, location of delivery, and estimated time of delivery. Additional regulations that apply to vessels fishing out of Oregon, North of Cape Falcon that apply to the 2026 seasons include: • Within 24 hours of any closure of the fishery vessels must land and deliver their salmon. • Vessels landing in Oregon are limited to only fishing between Leadbetter Pt., WA and Cape Falcon, OR. • Vessels landing into Oregon must possess a valid commercial license and a valid troll salmon permit. • Vessels landing into Oregon are limited to locations on the Oregon side of the Columbia River upstream as far as Tongue Pt., the beaches at Gearhart/Seaside and Cannon Beach, or into Garibaldi.
