FISH AND WILDLIFE
Original Notice.
Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 11-16-083 on August 2, 2011.
Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: WAC 220-12-090 Classification -- Nonnative aquatic animal species, 220-55-220 Two pole endorsement, 220-56-100 Definitions -- Personal-use fishing, 220-56-235 Possession limits -- Bottomfish, 220-56-282 Sturgeon -- Areas, season, limits and unlawful acts, 232-12-019 Classification of game fish, 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 January 6, 2012, at 8:30 a.m.
Date of Intended Adoption: On or after February 3, 2012.
Submit Written Comments to: Lori Preuss, Rules Coordinator, 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, WA 98501-1091, e-mail Lori.Preuss@dfw.wa.gov, fax (360) 902-2155, by December 30, 2011.
Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Tami Lininger by December 30, 2011, TTY (360) 902-2207 or (360) 902-2267.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: WAC 220-12-090 Classification -- Nonnative aquatic animal species, provides sportfishing rules for Northern Pike, which are removed from being classification as a game fish through WAC 232-12-019 below.
WAC 220-55-220 Two pole endorsement, allows fishing with two poles in the Pend Oreille River and the lower portion of the Spokane River provide opportunity and removes it from the Swift Reservoir to protect ESA-listed salmon and trout that are being reintroduced to the area.
WAC 220-56-100 Definitions -- Personal use fishing, opens the Lowland Lake Season on the fourth Saturday in April. Currently, the season opens the last Saturday in April. This will provide additional opportunity for years that have five Saturdays in April.
WAC 220-56-235 Possession limits -- Bottomfish, removes the lower size limit for lingcod spearfishing.
WAC 220-56-282 Sturgeon -- Areas, seasons, limits and unlawful acts, closes all Puget Sound tributaries to the retention of sturgeon, while allowing catch-and-release fishing. Conservation rule addresses concern for populations in this geographic area and limitations for managing them.
WAC 232-12-019 Classification of gamefish, removes northern pike from listing as a game fish. Currently this species is listed as both a game fish and as a prohibited species.
WAC 232-28-619 Washington food fish and game fish -- Freshwater exceptions to statewide rules.
Addresses conservation concerns: San Poil River has season, harvest, and boundary changes. Lower Crab and Red Rock creeks' fishing season is reduced from year-round to April 1 through September 31. A section of the South Fork Toutle River closes earlier to protect wild steelhead. A section of Salmon Creek in Lewis County closes to protect spawning and rearing habitat. Landlocked rules in Swift Reservoir removed to protect Endangered Species Act listed salmon and trout that are being reintroduced. Several systems in Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca close earlier to protect wild steelhead, implementing by permanent rule changes that were made in 2010/2011 by emergency regulation. Closes all coastal rivers, streams, and beaver ponds to fishing, except as listed in the pamphlet; fishing areas will be identified for areas where stocks are robust and can support fishing pressure, as well as in areas where reasonable recreational opportunity exists.
Provides recreational opportunity: Lake Roosevelt walleye fishers are allowed an additional eight fish daily limit. Sections in lower Spokane River are identified for additional walleye and Kokanee daily limits. Selective gear rules are removed from a section of the Kettle River so that fishers may use bait. Additional trout opportunity provided in areas of Puget Sound where there are not concerns about anadromous fish conservation. Increased area of Wind River allowed for catch and release steelhead fishing. Section of Wynoochee River is opened for fishing from a boat.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: See Purpose above.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012 and 77.12.047.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 77.04.012 and 77.12.047.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

(b) Only single point hooks measuring not more then 3/4 inch from point to shank may be used and all hooks must be attached to or below the lure or bait.
(c) Weights may not be attached below or less than 12 inches above the lure or bait.
(3) "Bait" means any substance which attracts fish by scent or flavors. Bait includes any lure which uses scent or flavoring to attract fish.
