Between Horse Mountain and Point Arena, which includes Shelter Cove and Fort Bragg, the daily bag and possession limit is two salmon of any species except Coho. The season south of Horse Mountain will extend through various dates in April through Nov. The alternatives can be found at pcouncil.org and will be finalized by the council in Sacramento on April 6-11, and submitted to the NMFS for adoption by May 1.
