The estuary fishery has slowed down over the last 10 days. There aren’t many boats fishing, and very few are being caught right now. The better tides this week have been in the evenings. Hopefully we’ll start to see the fall fish come in and make their way upriver. As of Wednesday, there weren’t many salmon being caught above tidewater, but there are plenty of half-pounders and adult steelhead around. Fall regulations go into effect on Saturday. The daily bag limit will be two Chinook, no more than one adult (greater than 23 inches) and the possession limit is six, no more than three adults.
