Anglers attention: Halibut season is nearly set!
Excerpt: “She said that because of the short season, it was reasonable to set an annual limit of four fish,” Croonquist wrote. “If we get the four days that will probably happen, then the annual limit is moot. If we get up to six additional days, depending on the harvest rate, then the limit kicks in. She doesn’t expect the annual limit will create any issues as about 87 percent of the Washington halibut anglers catch two or fewer halibut.”
