Nice meeting you guys and thanks for the awesome Whitetail treats. Salmon fishing still rocks today and got a 65# Hali a couple of days late. Already looking forward to next years shindig!

Anybody know what the size limits are in the sound this time of year?

Yep, easy limits of springs for the guys on the wall and at Kirby yesterday.

Stosh the slot restriction comes later in the season.

Osama,

Thanks for the info.

I usually get up there in August and there has for years been the one over and one under 67cm. Stupid rule as far as I'm concerned - anyway - when does come into effect again? Are most fish being taken on spoons and hootchies right now?

Thanks again,
Stosh

Yes, this time of year they are on needle fish inside so it is best to focus on small gear. Slot limit comes into effect in Aug - forget the date at moment.

Searun,

Thanks for the info. Now all we have to do is prey for good weather.
