Title: Salmon regulations -Pitt River
Post by: chironomidking on July 07, 2019, 12:30:02 PM: Looking for info on coho retention from upper Pitt River. Planning my fall trips and am thinking of a guided trip on upper Pitt but i also want a few fish to eat. Salmon Supplement (from what i can find) only mentions no fishing for chinook. Thanks.

Yah. Now that i think about it, only hatchery in Region 2 can be retained. Thanks.

Actually not even that. The default limit for Region 2 is zero, so unless there is retention specified in the synopsis for a particular water, you cant keep any, even hatchery clipped.

Also there are actually a few waters listed in the synopsis where coho may be retained if not hatchery.

I cant name one area in region 2 where you can retain a single wild Coho.

There's a few in the synopsis that permit retention with no requirement of hatchery marking, if you read it carefully.

Not in the LM portion of region 2.
