The Lynn Canal commercial fishing season ended Wednesday, Oct. 5.
“The fall run of chum and coho was petering out. It’s winding down now,” said Randy Bachman, commercial fisheries biologist for Fish and Game.
Thirty boats participated in the fishery, netting 2,100 chum and 1,100 coho. Per pound prices to fishermen averaged 85 cents for chum and 1.15 for coho. At 16 weeks, the local gillnet season was one week longer than average, Bachman said.
