Anglers in Washington can expect similar recreational salmon fisheries in 2026-2027 compared to last season, with additional opportunities and some Puget Sound summer Chinook seasons shorter in duration, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) fishery managers announced today.
The 2026-2027 salmon fishing seasons, cooperatively developed by WDFW and tribal co-managers, were tentatively set Sunday, April 12 at the week-long Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC) meeting held in Portland, Oregon.
