Action: Open retention of hatchery chinook salmon on the Skykomish River.
Effective date: July 14 through Aug.15, 2012.
Species affected: Hatchery chinook salmon.
Location: The Skykomish River from the mouth upstream to the mouth of the Wallace River.
Reason for action: Early returns to the Wallace River Hatchery indicate that the hatchery run size is stronger than forecasted and that broodstock collection goals can be met even with a Skykomish River fishery.
Other information:
• Skykomish River, from the mouth to the Lewis Street Bridge in Monroe, daily limit 2 hatchery chinook, minimum size 12 inches in length. Starting August 1, night closure and anti-snagging rules in effect.
• Skykomish River, from the Lewis Street Bridge in Monroe to the Wallace River, daily limit 2 hatchery chinook, minimum size 12 inches in length. Night closure and anti-snagging rules in effect.

And yes it was good to end the season with a Chinook. I was fishing on the Sky between the Lewis street bridge and the Wallace river. The season has been open for one month now thanks to the WDFG. So if you did read the information on line you would be out trying to get the last day of fishing in for Chinook until next year. It was a good day for those who did enjoy the short Chinook season.
