Action: Opens salmon fishing.

Effective Date: 12:01 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 17, through 11:59 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 31, 2013

Species Affected: Salmon

Location: Marine Area 9 (Admiralty Inlet), south of a line from Foulweather Bluff to Olele Point.

Reason for Action: This area is closed during the chinook mark-selective fishery in compliance with state and tribal management plans. Recent estimates indicate there is no chance of re-opening the chinook fishery and this area can now be opened for coho and pink salmon fishing.
