I know ..... really novice question
Are the salmon around most all the time, and then seasons open? Or do they go so far "out to sea" that they are not around at times?
Obviously only age classes spawn so they have to live oceanside for some amount of years.
Commercial and sport would both have specific seasons?
down here, that I can recall, there is no "fishing" season so to speak freshwater. And very few seasons salt until you get offshore.
