Date of Intended Adoption: On or after January 9, 2015.
Submit Written Comments to: Charmane Ashbrook, P.O. Box 43138, Olympia, WA 98504, e-mail Charmane.Ashbrook@dfw.wa.gov, fax (360) 586-0739, by December 1, 2014.

Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The department makes similar adjustments to recreational rules annually to maximize conservation and recreational-fishing opportunity. This proposal makes changes to Columbia Basin recreational fishing regulations and implements "stream strategy" for all water bodies in the eastside and southwest geographical areas. Stream strategy means the river is closed unless specifically listed as open to fishing by rule. The department also proposes reorganizing the sturgeon provisions so that they primarily reside in WAC 220-56-282 and making technical changes to clarify, correct, and update language.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: Adopting stream strategy for eastside and southwest Washington water bodies promotes consistency in the Washington department of fish and wildlife (WDFW) administrative code as it is already in place for Puget Sound and coastal recreational fishing rules. Making recreational fishing regulations consistent across the state will promote better understanding of rules by fishers. Additionally, the changes in this proposal are needed to make necessary adjustments to recreational fishing rules based on department data, public feedback, and changes in fish and shellfish populations. The department also proposes amendments for conservation purposes and to provide greater fishing opportunity. Technical changes are needed to ensure clarity and uniformity in the code and in response to the recent reorganization of freshwater recreational fishing rules.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.013, 77.04.055, and 77.12.047.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.013, 77.04.055, and 77.12.047.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Agency Comments or Recommendations, if any, as to Statutory Language, Implementation, Enforcement, and Fiscal Matters: The public may also submit comments on the proposed rule changes online at http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulations/rule_proposals/2015-2016/.
Dates related to these proposed rules:
December 1, 2014: Deadline for the public to submit written comments on the rules.
January 9-10, 2015: The department will ask the fish and wildlife commission to adopt the rule changes at the January commission meeting.
Name of Proponent: WDFW, governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Charmane Ashbrook, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, WA 98501, (360) 586-0734; Implementation: Jim Scott, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, WA 98501, (360) 902-2736; and Enforcement: Steve Crown, Chief, 1111 Washington Street, Olympia, WA 98501, (360) 902-2373.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. The proposed rule amendments do not affect small business; i.e., there is no direct regulation of small business. The rules apply to recreational fishers.
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. These proposals do not affect hydraulics.
