I don't think that info is correct. The rules say nothing about pinks so I would
assume it is okay once area 9 opens up on august 1st. Here are the special rules
posted a couple months back for salmon in area 9 which I assume is where you are
fishing:
Marine Area 9 (Admiralty Inlet):
May 1-July 31: Closed
Aug. 1-Sept. 30: Open with a two-salmon daily limit, chinook and chum must be
released
Oct. 1-31: Open with a two-salmon daily limit, chinook must be released.
Nov. 1-30: Open with a two-salmon daily limit, of which one may be a chinook
(22-inch minimum size.)
Dec. 1-Feb. 15: Closed
Feb. 16-April 10: Open with a one-fish daily limit, chinook must be at least
22-inches.
April 11-30: Closed
I guess though it is possible some other rules have been implemented for pinks but I
haven't seen them on the wdfw site.
