AN ACT Relating to salmon angling licenses in concurrent waters of the Columbia river and in coastal territorial waters along the Oregon-Washington boundary; and amending RCW 75.25.120.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
Sec. 1. Section 17, chapter 327, Laws of 1977 ex. sess. as amended by section 96, chapter 46, Laws of 1983 1st ex. sess. and RCW 75.25.120 are each amended to read as follows:
In concurrent waters of the Columbia river and in Washington coastal territorial waters from the Oregon-Washington boundary to a point five nautical miles north, an Oregon angling license comparable to the Washington salmon angling license is valid if Oregon recognizes as valid the Washington salmon angling license in comparable Oregon waters.
If Oregon recognizes as valid the Washington salmon angling license southward to Cape Falcon in the coastal territorial waters from the Washington-Oregon boundary and in concurrent waters of the Columbia river then Washington shall recognize a valid Oregon angling license northward to Leadbetter Point.
Oregon licenses are not valid for the taking of salmon when angling in concurrent waters of the Columbia river from the Washington shore.
