West Coast salmon fisherman can look forward to having some salmon around to fish for this year. Fisheries managers have approved limited Ocean seasons this year for Chinook salmon and Coho Salmon along the entire west coast. While the numbers arent fantastic at least they are big enough to have an open season. Each river up and down the coast is a bit different as far as its run forecast goes. Some rivers will see huge returns of chinook salmon this year, some are forecast to have poor returns. Oregons's Columbia River which is already full of spring salmon looks to have nearly a million summer and fall chinook return in 2010. California's Sacramento River which has been in real trouble the past couple of years is forecast to have a better run this year, not the numbers it usually has but decent enough to allow limited fishing. Most of the coastal rivers are expected to experience higher numbers of fish than the last couple of years. Its time to go fishing again in 2010. Since most everyone is out of work you should have plenty of time to go fishing.
