WAC 220-310-180 Freshwater exceptions to statewide rules—Coast.
1. Hoh River, south Fork (Jefferson County), outside of the Olympic National Park boundary: The provision "Open August 1 in June through April 15," was changed for clarity and consistency to "Open August 1 through April 15."
2. Hoquiam River, including the East and West forks (Grays Harbor County): The salmon limit from December 1 through December 31 was corrected to say, "…only 1 adult may be retained." Previously, the rule said two adults may be retained.
3. Sol Duc River (Clallam County): The salmon retention language for the September 1 through November 30 season opener from the mouth to the concrete pump station at the Sol Duc Hatchery was revised for clarity and consistency. Initially the language was: "Limit 6; only 3 adult salmon may be retained, only one may be a wild adult." The language now reads, "Limit 6; only 3 adult salmon may be retained, and only one may be a wild adult."
