Apr–May
No pronounced peak. A resident estuary flatfish, firm and sweet year-round; the only real swing is a mild post-spawn thinning after the late-winter/spring spawn.
signal · Tides for the Yaquina flats (NOAA CO-OPS); water temp as a spawn-timing cue (assumed)
Plate No. 045 · Finley & Bohlman
Managed, mind the rules
Mind the season, size, and limit; release what you won't keep, gently and in the water.
