So, when does the salmon season open in 2008? Opening Day for salmon is currently scheduled for Saturday, April 5. That's according to the official rules published in the Federal Register last May. The section that pertains to the start of the recreational season off our coastline is on page 8 of the notice. As we all know from last year, the season is not set in stone by any means. If there are any changes forthcoming to the start of the salmon season, hopefully we should find them out by the end of the next Pacific Fisheries Management Council meeting that takes place March 9-14 in Sacramento. So, until we hear otherwise, we're available for charters and individuals reservations for the 2008 salmon fishing season based on the opening date of April 5, 2008. As always, if you're interested in a private charter onboard the Queen of Hearts, especially for a Saturday, the sooner you pick a date the better as they tend to book up well in advance.
