Fishery Targets

Albacore is a qualitative summer-early-fall pulse and highly year-variable. Pacific halibut and Chinook are legal-variable. Lingcod and black rockfish are legal-variable. IPHC dates are not Fish Season months.

This reflects typical biological/fishery timing, not a legal open season. Check current regulations before fishing.
