Chetco terminal fisheries (recreational and commercial)

  • Additional discussions underway regarding potential for

restrictive fisheries in Elk terminal (in lieu of full closure)

  • Restrictions for in-river recreational fisheries are also in

development for implementation in fall 2019

  • Changes to terminal and in-river fisheries can be implemented

by emergency rule during the summer
