     Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: Personal use fishing rules for 2005-2006.

     Hearing Location(s): Chelan County Auditorium, 400 Douglas, Wenatchee, WA 98801, on November 5-6, 2004, begins 8:00 a.m. on November 5, 2004.

     Date of Intended Adoption: February 4, 2005.

     Submit Written Comments to: Evan Jacoby, Rules Coordinator, 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, WA 98501-1091, e-mail jacobesj@dfw.wa.gov, fax (360) 902-2155, by November 4, 2004.

     Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Susan Yeager by October 22, 2004, TTY (360) 902-2267 or (360) 902-2207.

     Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: Amend sportfishing rules for 2005-2006. These rules are other than those proposed through the PFMC North of Falcon process.

     WAC 220-56-115 and 220-56-282, one single hook for sturgeon will reduce the number of hooks ingested by oversize sturgeon and reduce mortality in broodstock fish.

     WAC 220-56-118, reducing handling of Dolly Varden and bull trout will reduce mortality.

     WAC 220-56-128 and 232-12-619, closure at Toliva Shoals, except during the lingcod season, will reduce rockfish mortality, while allowing a fishery for lingcod.

     WAC 220-56-129 and 220-56-130, lamprey stocks are seriously depressed and in need of protection.

     WAC 220-56-310, 220-56-315, 220-56-320, 220-56-325 and 220-56-326, new shrimp rules will spread the effort, create uniform gear requirements when spot shrimp are available, establish a minimum shrimp pot mesh, provide for spot shrimp measurement when mesh size is reduced, and prolong the shrimp seasons. Housekeeping changes will clarify the rule intent.

     WAC 220-56-330, delaying the opening in the eastern portion of Area 7 will reduce soft shell crab mortality.

     WAC 220-56-350 and 220-56-380, Dabob Bay changes will allow harvest of clams and oysters on all department lands in Dabob Bay.

     WAC 220-69-236, a sturgeon catch record card will be required for all sturgeon fishing and retention.

     WAC 232-28-619, Lincoln Pond is not being stocked with salmon and landlocked salmon rules are not needed.

     Cowlitz Barrier Dam closures are amended to show which dam is being referred to.

     Snake and Touchet bass rules are amended to provide for specific bass management.

     Gobar Creek steelhead are required to be released because of an ongoing research project.

     Oasis Pond is managed as a catch and keep fishery with stocked fish only, and the rules are conformed with those of the City of Ephrata.

     Skate Creek is managed with the rest of the upper Cowlitz for cutthroat release.

     Ringold steelhead are managed for upriver escapement, and the ventral only finclip requirement is not needed after November 1, as the target fish have passed the area by that date.

     Lake Roosevelt closure is extended to protect a wild stock of rainbow trout, and matches the Colville confederated tribes closure.

     Reasons Supporting Proposal: Provide sport fishing opportunity and conserve fin fish and shellfish stocks.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.12.047.

     Statute Being Implemented: RCW 77.12.047.

     Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

     Name of Proponent: Department of Fish and Wildlife, governmental.

     Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Evan Jacoby, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, WA, (360) 902-2930; Implementation: Lew Atkins, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, WA, (360) 902-2651; and Enforcement: Bruce Bjork, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, WA, (360) 902-2373.

     No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. These rules affect recreational fishers, and have no direct regulatory effect on small businesses.

     A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. These rules are not hydraulics rules, and are not subject to RCW 34.05.328.
