I recently learned that the Halibut fishing season for our area opens on February 01st. That may change, but at this time that is what’s happening. The limit for Halibut will be one fish per day per person with a two day limit. Rumors suggest that this limit may remain in effect for the entire season as a result of a halibut quota reduction for both the Canadian commercial fishery and sport fishery this year.
The weather over the past while has been unpredictable, but when we have been able to get on the water, the fishing for winter Chinooks has been excellent. Reasonable size, 7 to 20 lbs with lots of action.
