Hello,
some on here are much more int he know than i am. Their is a rumor floating around the north coast(could be beyond) that the 2018 chinook limits are going down to 1 per day 2 possession. Has anyone else heard of this?

Heard that but haven't researched it. 1 over 77 and 1 under 77 cm is what I heard.
..they’ll all head to Alaska where limits are much more liberal on salmon
Not to mention thousands of dead fish floating to the bottom looking for a 77cm. Probably more harm than good

No area numbers. Was just having a conversation with someone who mentioned it. And last year when I was told info from him it was bang on.do u have area's ??
interesting.. what was he bang on about last year as there was no changes... Chinook our on the table at the end of the month so not sure how anything can be in stone right now.. but I can always check with those I know..i would be interested in why there would be such a reg change...
There have only been sockeye openings on the 2010, 2014 brood years and the other 3 year brood years haven't seen tidal fisheries in years....just saying it was a given. 2018 is likely to see a sockeye tidal water fishery as this is the one remaining strong brood year.
This will almost definitely have an effect on additional closures/restrictions.Any closures will be based on the old models. How the SRKW situation plays into it all I’m not sure.
what i've never understood is why people who spend like 5-20k that go to a lodge want to maximise how much they bring home. You would think if they have that kind of bling it would be enough to bring home a few trophy fish home. Like I understand people wanting to go where their is lights out fishing and bringing home a few trophy fish But yet you see lots of post on this site where people are asking where they can get a trip to to maximise their take home.
Maybe someone can explain this to me because i just don't get it?
Definitely feel sorry for thoes living a hand to mouth existence up their tho.

Hope we don't get hit too hard.
