DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE
[Order 18-335—Filed December 20, 2018, 11:18 a.m., effective January 1, 2019]
Effective Date of Rule: January 1, 2019.
Purpose: Amend recreational fishing rules for Drano Lake.
Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-312-03000J.
Under RCW
34.05.350 the agency for good cause finds that immediate adoption, amendment, or repeal of a rule is necessary for the preservation of the public health, safety, or general welfare, and that observing the time requirements of notice and opportunity to comment upon adoption of a permanent rule would be contrary to the public interest.
Reasons for this Finding: This rule is necessary to return Drano Lake to permanent rule. Drano Lake was closed to angling in mid-October due to poor returns of fall Chinook to Little White Salmon National Fish Hatchery. Fall Chinook will no longer be present beginning January 1, 2019, when fisheries for steelhead and other fish will resume.
