Meanwhile, fall chinook runs in the Snake River are below average, but you can still land some—keep three per day, one must be hatchery. Vernita Fishery opened July 1, already turning up big ones, running till Oct 31 unless closed early. Marine Area Two near Westport hits its limit Friday; boat chinook fishing stops Saturday. Wild coho? Release them. Hatchery coho 16”+? Keep ‘em. Freshwater? Loon Lake’s got perch biting at 25 feet, 9–12” consistently, plus sunfish and smallmouth bass.
