Original Notice.

     Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 08-16-136.

     Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: WAC 220-16-880 Saltwater State Park Marine Conservation Area, 220-20-100 General provisions -- Marine protected areas, 220-56-100 Definitions -- Personal-use fishing, 220-56-105 River mouth definitions, 220-56-122 Statewide bait rules, 220-56-350 Clams other than razor clams, mussels -- Areas and seasons, 220-56-380 Oysters -- Areas and seasons, 220-56-500 Game fish seasons, 232-12-168 Fishing contests, and 232-28-619 Washington food fish and game fish -- Freshwater exceptions to statewide rules.

     Hearing Location(s): Natural Resources Building, Room 172, 1111 Washington Street S.E., Olympia, WA 98504, on November 7-8, 2008, at 8:30 a.m.

     Date of Intended Adoption: December 12-13, 2008.

     Submit Written Comments to: Lori Preuss, Rules Coordinator, 600 Capitol Way, Olympia, WA 98501-1091, e-mail loreva.preuss@dfw.wa.gov, fax (360) 902-2155, by October 27, 2008.

     Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Susan Yeager by October 19, 2008, TTY (360) 902-2207 or (360) 902-2267.

     Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: WAC 220-16-880, adds a new section to describe the Saltwater State Park Marine Protected Area (MPA). This MPA encompasses the area around a new submerged reef recently developed by the Washington department of parks and recreation.

     WAC 220-20-100, classifies an area inside Saltwater State Park as an MPA and closes the area to all recreational harvest.

     WAC 220-56-100

     (2) Introduces and defines the term "Anti-snagging rule." Is defined as restricting terminal gear to one single-pointed hook, and anglers may only retain fish hooked inside the mouth. The department is applying this rule in place of the nonbuoyant lure rule in areas where anglers are attempting to snag fish.

     (19) Deletes the term "nonbuoyant lure restriction" and replaces it with the new anti-snagging rule described above. The nonbuoyant lure rule is very complex; the new rule will be easier for anglers to understand and for officers to enforce.

     WAC 220-56-105, defines the mouth of the Willapa River as the City of South Bend boat launch. This will allow anglers to more easily identify the mouth.

     WAC 220-56-350, adjusts the sport clam seasons on a yearly basis based on abundance and usage surveys and agreements with comanagers and other state agencies.

     WAC 220-56-350, adjusts the sport oyster seasons on a yearly basis based on abundance and usage surveys and agreements with comanagers and other state agencies.

     WAC 220-56-500, adjusts the statewide season for freshwater rivers, streams and beaver ponds to open the first Saturday in June rather than June 1. This allows the season to begin on a weekend and will, in most years, offer additional protection to outmigrating anadromous fish.

     WAC 232-12-168, changes the deadline when fishing-contest applications are due to WDFW from November to July each year. This allows decisions to be made earlier and allows clubs more time to advertise their tournaments. Changes the consecutive-day limit for contests from 3 to 4 to allow more opportunity for contest anglers.

     WAC 232-28-619, modifies exceptions to statewide rules. Change seasonal dates, and modifies closed areas, daily limits, size limits and gear restrictions. Replaces "nonbuoyant lure restriction" with the new anti-snagging rule. The June 1 stream openers for game fish are changed to the 1st Saturday in June. Specific changes are as follows:

     Lake Roosevelt tributaries between Grand Coulee Dam and the State Highway 25 bridge at Northport (except those specifically listed in the special rules): Saturday before Memorial Day to October 31 season. Earlier opener allows angler opportunity during 3-day weekend.

     Blue Lake (Grant Co): Trout daily limit 8. Allows additional harvest opportunity in a fry-planted lake.

     Cascade River (Skagit Co): From mouth to Rockport-Cascade Road Bridge – season for game fish opens with salmon season June 1 – July 15 and reopens with salmon September 16. This allows anglers to retain game fish hooked during the salmon fishery.

     Columbia River: From the Buoy 10 line to the Highway 395 Bridge at Pasco – combined daily limit for steelhead and adult salmon of 2 fish (2 adult salmon, 2 steelhead, or one of each). Trout other than steelhead may not be retained; except from the Rocky Point/Tongue Point line to the I-5 Bridge, up to 2 hatchery cutthroat (minimum size 12") may be retained.

     Colville River (Stevens Co): Game fish season opens Saturday of Memorial Day instead of June 1. Earlier opener allows angling opportunity during the three-day weekend.

     Fisher Slough (Snohomish Co): Standard stream season for entire stream. Side channel near mouth no longer exists, so mouth is clearly discernable.

     Grays River (Wahkiakum Co): Game fish season opens 1st Saturday in June instead of September 1 in the mainstem up to the mouth of the South Fork. In the West Fork Grays River downstream of the hatchery intake footbridge, season extended to end October 15 instead of August 31. All species, release all fish; except up to 2 hatchery steelhead may be retained. Additional season opens December 1 instead of December 15. Standardizes steelhead and salmon fisheries at June 1 – October 15, and provides additional opportunity to harvest hatchery steelhead.

     Lacamas Creek (Lewis Co): Season changed to statewide standard. Steelhead are not planted here – no need for extended season.

     Kettle River (Stevens Co): Game fish season Saturday before Memorial Day through October 31. Earlier opener allows anglers access during the three-day weekend.

     Little Pend Oreille River (Stevens Co): Game fish season Saturday before Memorial Day through October 31. Earlier opener allows anglers access during three-day weekend.

     Medical Lake, West (Spokane Co): Trout daily limit 8 fish. Allows additional harvest opportunity in a fry-planted lake.

     Mercer Creek within Ellensburg City limits (Kittitas Co): Return to statewide daily limit for trout – no longer planted with trout.

     Munn Lake (Thurston Co): Specifies that the additional season ends the Friday before the last Saturday in April to match up with normal season opener.

     Ohop Creek (Pierce Co): July 1 – October 31 season, selective gear rules, and release all fish except hatchery steelhead. Steelhead smolt protection.

     Park Lake (Grant Co): Trout daily limit 8 fish. Allows additional harvest opportunity in a fry-planted lake.

     Roosevelt Lake Kettle arm: Closed waters ends the Friday before Memorial Day to match with earlier opening date of Kettle River.

     Scooteney Reservoir (Franklin Co): Walleye minimum size 12 inches. Allows harvest of smaller walleye before they leave the reservoir.

     Skagit River (Skagit/Whatcom Co): Anglers may retain up to 2 hatchery steelhead during the March 1-April 30 catch-and-release season from the Dalles Bridge at Concrete to the mouth of the Cascade River. Allows the opportunity to remove hatchery fish from the system.

     Skamokawa Creek (Wahkiakum Co): First Saturday in June through October 31 season. Release all trout; except up to two hatchery steelhead may be retained. Standardizes stream season – hatchery steelhead are not released here, so no need for extended season.

     Sprague Lake (Adams/Lincoln Co): Trout daily limit 8 fish. Allows additional harvest opportunity in a fry-planted lake.

     Tieton River, North Fork (Yakima Co): Clarifies closed waters area and opens the Saturday before Labor Day to allow angler access during the three-day weekend.

     Williams Lake (Spokane Co): Trout daily limit 8 fish. Allows additional harvest opportunity in a fry-planted lake.

     Wilson Creek, two branches within Ellensburg city limits (Kittitas Co): Return to statewide season and statewide daily limit for trout – no longer planted with trout.

     Yakima River (Yakima Co) from the Highway 223 Bridge at Granger to 3500 feet below Roza Dam: Season changed to statewide standard. Selective gear rules added from Sunnyside Dam to 3500 feet below Roza Dam. Whitefish-only season added December 1 – March 31 from the Highway 223 Bridge to 400 feet below Roza Dam. Season change and selective gear rules protect ESA-listed steelhead. Whitefish-only seasons allow harvest of whitefish with specialized gear that minimizes impacts on other species.

     Reasons Supporting Proposal: See Purpose above.

     (5) Legal requirements, all contests:

     (a) Fishing contest permits must be in the possession of the contest sponsor or official at the contest site.

     (b) Contests are restricted to the species and waters approved on the permit. Only those species listed as a target of the contest may be retained by contest participants during bass or walleye contests where all contestants fish at the same time and place.
