Original Notice.

     Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 02-18-107.

     Title of Rule: Personal use fishing rules.

     Purpose: Amend personal use fishing rules.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.12.047.

     Statute Being Implemented: RCW 77.12.047.

     Summary: WAC 220-12-020, clarifies that classified shellfish includes native marine clams. Delete old scientific family name. This will assist in establishing lower limits on unclassified freshwater clams and mussels.

     WAC 220-56-105, define mouth of Cispus River. Distinguishes the river from Lake Scanewa.

     WAC 220-56-129, sets limit on freshwater clams and mussels at 10 shellfish. Freshwater clams and mussels may be locally abundant, but are generally a poorly understood group, subject to over exploitation, with some populations extirpated. Some of the species are being considered for classification as sensitive, and a limited harvest will protect populations until further study is completed.

     WAC 220-56-230 and 220-56-255, close bottomfish and halibut fishing in an approximately fifteen by twenty-mile rectangle about eight miles west of Cape Alava. Part of this area was previously closed to halibut fishing to protect incidentally taken yelloweye rockfish. The closed area is expanded and closed to all bottomfish and halibut fishing for further yelloweye rockfish protection.

     WAC 220-56-235, set aggregate bottomfish limit in Catch Areas 1 through 4 at 15 bottomfish, of which no more than 1 may be a canary rockfish and release all yelloweye rockfish. Prohibit retention of yelloweye and canary rockfish in Catch Areas 5 through 13. These measures are intended to protect rockfish and other bottomfish.

     WAC 220-56-250, expand season for lingcod in ocean waters to provide additional fishing opportunity. The lingcod rebuilding schedule is successful, and there are additional fish for harvest.

     WAC 220-56-265, set maximum mesh size for forage fish dip net gear. A maximum mesh size will prevent gilling of forage fish.

     WAC 220-56-320, change escape ring size for crab gear in the Columbia River from 4-1/4 inches to 4 inches. The crab size in the Columbia River matches Oregon's, and a smaller escape ring allows retention of lawful size crab, while providing escapement for undersize crab.

     WAC 220-56-325, establish Port Townsend Shrimp District and clarify openings. Shrimp openings in Discovery Bay, Hood Canal and Port Townsend are of such short duration that the season needs to be set by emergency rule. This allows for a season of up to 120 days, but eliminates the problem of an early closure inadvertently expiring and a season accidentally reopening.

     WAC 220-56-350 and 220-56-380, housekeeping changes are needed to correct names and clarify open areas. These sections are also opened for the annual beach season settings which will be available before the public hearing.

     WAC 232-12-619 and 232-28-619, extend statewide season in rivers, streams, and beaver ponds to November 30; change seasons in exceptions to statewide rules where season closes on October 31 to November 30. This will provide a fall fishing opportunity, particularly in "opening day" lakes. This change affects 272 openings in exceptions to statewide rules.

     WAC 232-28-619, delete Cashmere and Nason Creek ponds, as the ponds were washed out; clarify Chehalis River boundary bridge as bridge at Boistfort School to reduce confusion among several bridges; Cle Elum river selective gear area does not include Tucquala Lake; Columbia River from Highway 395 to Pasco and Ringold Springs Rearing Facility release hatchery steelhead with only adipose fin clips as these are upriver fish; Cowlitz Falls Reservoir eliminate landlocked salmon rules, wild chinook release June 1 through July 31 and release wild coho in order to utilize hatchery plants; Cowlitz River, Mayfield Lake and Riffe Lake clarify Cowlitz River is below Mayfield Dam and above Cowlitz Falls Reservoir, all intermediate waters are either Mayfield Lake, Riffe Lake or Cowlitz Falls Reservoir (Lake Scanewa); Crabb Creek provide walleye opportunity with terminal gear restrictions March 1 through May 31 Highway 17 to Road 7; Dry Falls Lake season to open April 1 for additional opportunity; Grande Ronde selective gear rules end August 1 and barbless hooks begin September 1; Hamilton Creek to (new) statewide stream season as no hatchery steelhead or cutthroat are available; East Fork Lewis close tributaries above Horseshoe Falls and mouth to Horseshoe Falls delete selective gear, allow gamefish other than trout retention, and close March 16 through May 31; Mayfield Lake eliminate landlocked salmon rules and salmon open only September 1 through December 31 with wild coho release to utilize hatchery plants; Mill Creek delete Punjab Bridge reference; Naches River trout catch and release in order to survey anglers and activity; North Silver Lake change from fly fishing only to split season (October closure), selective gear, trout limit 2 fish March 1 through September with marked fish release and catch and release November 1 through December 31; Skagit River allow motors during selective gear season at mouth; Skykomish River at rearing ponds prohibit fishing for any species from a floating device, not just gamefish; Snoqualmie River at Tokul Creek prohibit fishing for any species from a floating device, not just gamefish; Tye River whitefish gear rules apply December 1 through last day in February; Washougal River delete April 16 though May 31 additional season; plus housekeeping changes to comply with new November 30 closing date as well as housekeeping changes for clarification.

     WAC 232-28-621, reduce size of terminal gear restricted area in Duwamish waterway to waters upstream from an east-west line through Southwest Hanford Street to a line projected east from the south tip of Harbor Island. This covers the area where snagging occurs, and allows different gear to be used elsewhere.
