WSR 16-23-002 PERMANENT RULES DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE [Order 16-280—Filed November 2, 2016, 1:13 p.m., effective December 3, 2016] Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Purpose: Recreational salmon fishing rules based on North of Falcon recommendations change from year to year to reflect current resource availability and to achieve conservation goals. Specific to this rule adoption (associated CR-102 continuance WSR 16-14-014), changes to Washington department of fish and wildlife's freshwater fishing rules are the result of stakeholder recommendations made during North of Falcon meetings and a petition filed by the Colville tribes. The continuance accommodated a public hearing on August 5 and 6, and the fish and wildlife commission adopted these rules on October 7.
Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 220-310-195.
Adopted under notice filed as WSR 16-14-014 on June 24, 2016.
Changes Other than Editing from Proposed to Adopted Version: The adopted rules have changes from the rule noticed in the CR-102, as a result of the continuance (WSR 16-14-014 filed on June 24). These are reflected in the rule changes presented below:
1. All tributaries to Lake Roosevelt between Grand Coulee Dam and the Canadian border are open the Saturday before Memorial Day through October 31; fisheries are under statewide stream rules.
2. On Lake Roosevelt (Grant/Ferry/Lincoln/Stevens counties), from Grand Coulee Dam to the Little Dalles power line crossing, there is no longer a daily limit of 5 trout with no more than 2 trout over 20 inches in length; the daily limit will remain at 5 trout with no size restrictions and it is unlawful to retain any trout with an intact adipose fin.
3. On Lake Roosevelt, from the Little Dalles power line crossing to the Canadian Border, trout (except kokanee) have a daily limit of 2, minimum size 18 inches.
4. For the Sanpoil River (Ferry County), from the western shoreline at the mouth of the Sanpoil Arm (as marked by a regulatory buoy) directly eastward across the Sanpoil Arm to the eastern shoreline of the Sanpoil Arm (as marked by a regulatory buoy) upstream to the north shore of the outlet of French Johns Lake (Manila Creek) northeast across the Sanpoil Arm to the north shore of the outlet of Dick Creek, the fishery will now open June 1 (formerly April 1) for trout, kokanee, walleye and smallmouth bass. There is no longer a daily limit of 5 trout with no more than 2 trout over 20 inches in length; the daily limit will remain at 5 trout with no size restrictions and it is unlawful to retain any trout with an intact adipose fin.
5. For the Sanpoil River (Ferry County), from the north shore of the outlet of French Johns Lake (Manila Creek) northeast across the Sanpoil Arm to the north shore of the outlet of Dick Creek to approximately 5 miles upstream from the outlet of French Johns Lake, as marked by regulatory buoys: The fishery now opens for walleye and smallmouth bass on June 1, as opposed to April 1.
6. For the Spokane Arm of Lake Roosevelt (including Spokane River, from SR 25 Bridge upstream to 400 feet below Little Falls Dam): There is no longer a daily limit of 5 trout with no more than 2 trout over 20 inches in length; the daily limit will remain at 5 trout with no size restrictions and it is unlawful to retain any trout with an intact adipose fin.
Rationale: The Washington fish and wildlife commission took action to further protect redband rainbow trout in Lake Roosevelt, a Columbia River reservoir in northeast Washington. The commission voted to change the daily catch limit on trout at Lake Roosevelt and extend a closure in a section of the Sanpoil River during the redband rainbow trout staging, spawning and outmigration period. Previously, anglers fishing Lake Roosevelt could keep 5 trout (hatchery or wild) per day, including 2 fish 20 inches or larger in size. The commission voted to keep the 5 trout daily limit at Lake Roosevelt in the area from Grand Coulee Dam to the Little Dalles power line crossing, but anglers fishing there will be allowed to retain only hatchery trout (adipose fin clipped trout). In addition, anglers fishing from the Little Dalles power line crossing to the Canadian border will have a daily limit of 2 trout (hatchery or wild fish) that are 18 inches or larger.
Commissioners also voted to extend the closure of the Sanpoil River arm of the reservoir, where redband rainbow trout stage to make their upriver spawning run. The arm will open to fishing June 1, 2 months later than the area has typically opened.
The commission voted to reopen fishing in tributaries in upper Lake Roosevelt, including Big Sheep and Deep creeks. Beginning next year, those streams will be open the Saturday before Memorial Day through Oct. 31. They were unintentionally closed during the Columbia Basin stream strategy rule-making process in 2014.
