Salmon fi shery opens in Washington
tions in place in an effort to pro-
tect coho, which are forecast to
return in low numbers.”
Only Ilwaco’s Marine Area
1 will be open for coho reten-
tion. Fishery managers have
attributed the low number of
returning coho to poor ocean
conditions last year.
This year’s 18,900 coho
quota is a signifi cant reduction
from the 150,800 fi sh quota
in 2015 and the lowest coho
quota since 1998. The recre-
ational Chinook catch quota
this year is 35,000 fi sh, down
from 64,000 in 2015.
Marine Area 1 is sched-
uled to close Aug. 31 while
marine areas 2 (Westport), 3
(La Push) and 4 (Neah Bay)
are scheduled to close Aug.

ILWACO, Wash. — Anglers
can reel in salmon off the Wash-
ington coast beginning Fri-
day , when the ocean sport fi sh-
ery gets underway daily in the
Ilwaco, Westport, La Push and
Neah Bay marine areas.
This year’s sport fi sh-
ing opportunities are mostly
focused on Chinook salmon,
which are forecast to return at a
rate slightly above the 10-year
average, said Wendy Beeghley,
an ocean salmon manager with
the Washington Department
of Fish and Wildlife. Anglers
can fi sh for Chinook in all four
marine areas.
“We expect a pretty good
Chinook fi shery in the ocean
this summer,” Beeghley said.
“However, we’ve put restric-

anglers can check the Depart-
ment of Fish and Wildlife’s
webpage at wdfw.wa.gov for
updates on the ocean fi shery.
In Ilwaco, anglers will have
a daily limit of two salmon,
only one of which can be a
Chinook. Anglers fi shing in
Marine Area 2 can retain one
salmon daily. In marine areas 3
and 4, anglers will have a two-
salmon daily limit. Anglers will
be required to release all coho
salmon in marine areas 2, 3 and
4, but can keep hatchery coho
in Marine Area 1.

on fi shing regulations can be

New life is coming to the for-
mer Blue Ocean Thai Cuisine
on Commercial Street in down-
town Astoria.
Thomas and Elena Shern
plan to open an all-day eatery,
Capricorn Pub and Fine Dining,
in the space next month.
The couple has been quietly
building out the restaurant since
November, while working day
jobs and raising their family.
“It was my wife’s dream,
really, to own a bar and a restau-
rant,” said Thomas, who does
home restorations and used to
work in medical research.
Elena left Romania for the
United States at 21. The couple
met in Niagara Falls, Canada,
when Thomas was on a busi-
ness trip. They have lived in San
Francisco, Arizona and Wis-
consin. They picked the North
Coast off a map for its mild
weather, relatively inexpensive
living costs, family friendliness
and forward-thinking culture.
Elena described Capricorn,
named for her astrological sign,
as a manifestation of the home y
environment she grew up around
in Buzau in eastern Romania.
“My grandfather was the guy
where people would come by
his house and have good food,

homemade grappa,” she said. “I
think living in that culture made
me this way.”
The Sherns have spent
months
refurbishing,
hand-scraping the fl oor, building
a new bar topped by a counter
made from an old-growth fi r
slice and installing new kitchen
equipment.
“Every inch of the build-
ing has been cleaned, repaired
and refi nished,” Thomas said.
“There really hasn’t been any-
thing that was not broken,
including the front door.”
The two are planning to phase
in their restaurant’s hours, eventu-
ally opening for breakfast, lunch
and dinner, with a full bar. Thomas
said the menu will include gour-
met burgers, seafood and chicken,
along with some Romanian infl u-
ences like cabbage rolls and Bal-
kan chorba soups.
Thomas said the couple
envisions a place where friends
can meet for breakfast or go out
for the night in a casual environ-
ment with good food. Down-
stairs will be a lounge with
couches, a television and lottery
machines.
“It’s going to be a place
people will come and feel like
home,” Elena said.
Elena said the restaurant
will also be a place for her older
daughter Gabbi, 13, to experi-
ence hostessing and saving up
money.
“Since I moved to Amer-
ica, it’s one of those things
where you feel like every-
thing is possible,” Elena said.
“I come from a country where
we were under communism
and Russia, and here, the sys-
tem is easy, if you actually
work.”
