WAC 232-28-619 Washington food fish and game fish -- Freshwater exceptions to statewide rules.

     Bear River: The Washington department of fish and wildlife (WDFW) amended this proposal to require the release of wild jack chinook salmon. Additional protection was necessary for wild chinook salmon in this river.

     Blue Creek: WDFW amended this proposal so that ventral fin-clipped steelhead can be retained.

     Camas Slough: WDFW amended this proposal to require release of wild chinook and coho salmon. Additional protection was necessary for wild chinook and coho.

     Capitol Lake: WDFW amended this proposal to close salmon fishing. The invasive New Zealand mud snail has recently been discovered in the lake. Closing fishing will prevent spreading of the snail.

     Cedar Creek (tributary of N.F. Lewis): WDFW amended this proposal to close all fishing in September and October to protect wild fall chinook and coho salmon.

     Chehalis River: WDFW amended this proposal to allow wild coho retention in September and October, to open two weeks earlier, and to require release of wild jack chinook. Late run wild coho have not met spawning goals in some recent years. Wild chinook forecast was below spawning goal and additional protection was necessary.

     Columbia River, buoy 10 to Rocky Point -- Tongue Point Line: WDFW amended this proposal to reduce the coho daily limit because the coho forecast was not strong enough to allow three per day, and to increase summer chinook opportunity because the forecast was strong enough to allow additional harvest.

     Columbia River, Rocky Point -- Tongue Point Line to Priest Rapids Dam: WDFW amended this proposal to increase summer chinook opportunity because the forecast was strong enough to allow additional harvest, to reduce the number of days fall chinook may be retained in order to comply with Endangered Species Act harvest rate limitations, and to require release of sockeye because the Wenatchee River forecast was below the escapement goal.

     Columbia River, Priest Rapids Dam to Wanapum Dam: WDFW amended this proposal to implement a partial mark-selective chinook fishery to protect natural origin spawners, and adjusted seasons to align regulations with summer and fall chinook run-timing.

     Cowlitz River: WDFW amended this proposal to require release of wild chinook, to correct gamefish season error, and to allow retention of ventral fin-clipped steelhead. Provides additional protection for wild chinook salmon.

     Dewatto River: WDFW amended this proposal to close all fishing during September in order to protect summer chum.

     Elk River: WDFW amended this proposal to have one season and reduced the daily limit to two fish for chinook and wild coho protection.

     Elochoman River: WDFW amended this proposal to align the night closure, stationary gear restriction, and antisnagging rules with the salmon season.

     Grays River: WDFW amended this proposal to align the night closure, stationary gear restriction, and antisnagging rules with the salmon season; and to add additional time and locations for salmon fishing to harvest surplus hatchery coho and chinook.

     Green River (Cowlitz County): WDFW amended this proposal to require release of wild chinook. Additional protection was necessary for wild chinook salmon in this river.

     Green River (King County): WDFW amended this proposal to require release of chinook. The Green River chinook salmon forecast was not strong enough to allow as much fishing as last year. While some fishing opportunity was retained in Elliott Bay, chinook fishing opportunity was eliminated in the river.

     Hoh River: WDFW amended this proposal to remove the selective gear rule during salmon seasons. This allows the use of bait while salmon fishing.

     Hoquiam River: WDFW amended this proposal to require the release of wild jack chinook salmon. Additional protection was necessary for wild chinook salmon in this river.

     Humptulips River: WDFW amended this proposal to extend the boundary to include from Highway 101 to the confluence of the east and west forks to increase fishing opportunity.

     Johns River: WDFW amended this proposal to simplify the dates into one season and reduced the daily limit to two salmon for chinook and wild coho protection.

     Kalama River: WDFW amended this proposal to correct an error that required wild cutthroat release.

     Klickitat River: WDFW amended this proposal to increase the daily limit for chinook to two as intended last year, and to align the antisnagging rule and night closure with the fishing seasons to protect salmon.

     Lacamas Creek: WDFW amended this proposal to close all fishing beginning September 1 to protect fall chinook from illegal activities.

     Little White Salmon River: WDFW amended this proposal to allow retention of hatchery chinook caught during July.

     Methow River: WDFW amended this proposal to clarify the language defining section boundaries.

     Mill Creek (Lewis County): WDFW amended this proposal to allow retention of ventral fin-clipped steelhead.

     Naselle River: WDFW amended this proposal to clarify restrictive gear regulations, to open the season earlier, to allow an additional hatchery chinook to be retained, and to allow an additional wild coho to be retained.

     Nemah River: WDFW amended this proposal to require release of wild chinook and wild coho to increase protection of these stocks.

     Newaukum River: WDFW amended this proposal to allow wild coho retention through November and to require the release of jack chinook salmon.

     Niawiakum River: WDFW amended this proposal to require release of wild chinook and wild coho.

     Nisqually River: WDFW amended this proposal to reduce the daily limit to two salmon beginning October 1 and to require the release of wild jack chinook. This prevents anglers from continuing to fish for a third fish that had to be a chinook, when chinook were not in the river and reduces handling of wild chinook when anglers were measuring fish.

     North River: WDFW amended this proposal to allow wild coho retention and to allow retention of hatchery chinook.

     Okanogan River: WDFW amended this proposal to implement a partial mark-selective chinook fishery to protect natural-origin spawners, and adjusted seasons to align regulations with summer and fall chinook run-timing.

     Palix River: WDFW amended this proposal to require release of wild chinook and wild coho, and to clarify the section boundaries.

     Puyallup River: WDFW amended this proposal to (1) close the lower portion of the river during days in August and September when tribal fishing is scheduled, to increase safety for anglers and tribal fishers; and (2) opened the upper portion earlier to provide additional opportunity while meeting harvest rate goals.

     Quinault River: WDFW amended this proposal to allow only jack retention from July through September, to require single-point barbless hooks, and to require the release of sockeye, pink and chum salmon.

     Satsop River: WDFW amended this proposal to modify the dates into one season for chinook and wild coho protection

     Similkameen River: WDFW amended this proposal to utilize permanent regulations that implement a partial mark-selective chinook fishery to protect natural-origin spawners, and adjusted seasons to align regulations with summer and fall chinook run-timing.

     Skagit River: WDFW amended this proposal to eliminate the summer chinook fishery, since the forecast of summer chinook is not strong enough to support a river fishery, and to increase the coho daily limit to three because the forecast is strong enough to support additional harvest within the harvest rate goal.

     Skokomish River: WDFW amended this proposal to (1) close the upper portion of the river during days in August and September when tribal fishing is scheduled, to reduce conflict between anglers and tribal fishers; (2) require release of wild chinook to meet new harvest rate goals; (3) prohibit retention of fish hooked anywhere other than in the mouth, to reduce snagging and disorderly fishery problems; and (4) require anglers to retain the first two salmon caught, if legal to do so, to remove excess hatchery fish from the river.

     Skookumchuck River: WDFW amended this proposal to open the river earlier, allow retention of wild coho through November, and to require the release of jack chinook.

     Skykomish River: WDFW amended this proposal to allow retention of coho salmon only in the fall fisheries, because only coho were forecast strong enough to allow harvest.

     Smith Creek: WDFW amended this proposal to allow retention of wild coho and hatchery chinook.

     Snohomish River: WDFW amended this proposal to allow retention of coho salmon only in the fall fisheries, because only coho were forecast strong enough to allow harvest.

     Snoqualmie River: WDFW amended this proposal to allow retention of coho salmon only, because only coho were forecast strong enough to allow harvest.

     Stillaguamish River: WDFW amended this proposal to allow retention of coho salmon only in the fall fisheries, because only coho were forecast strong enough to allow harvest.

     Tahuya River: WDFW amended this proposal to close all fishing during September in order to protect summer chum.

     Toutle River: WDFW amended this proposal to require release of wild chinook to provide additional protection for wild chinook salmon.

     Wallace River: WDFW amended this proposal to close salmon fishing from September 1 through September 15 to protect chinook from illegal activities.

     Washougal River: WDFW amended this proposal to require release of wild chinook and to allow hatchery chinook retention in the upper river.

     White Salmon River: WDFW amended this proposal to require release of wild chinook and to allow hatchery chinook retention during July.

     Willapa River: WDFW amended this proposal to require release of wild chinook and wild coho.

     Wind River: WDFW amended this proposal to require release of wild chinook, to allow hatchery chinook retention in additional areas, and to modify the dates of the antisnagging rule and night closure to align with protection needs.

     Wishkah River: WDFW amended this proposal to require chinook and wild coho release, to clarify the upper section boundary, and to correct an error of previous commission intent to prohibit fishing from a floating device equipped with an internal combustion engine in the lower section.

     Wynoochee River: WDFW amended this proposal to require release of chinook and wild coho, and to prohibit bait from September 16 through October 31.


WAC 232-28-621 Puget Sound salmon -- Saltwater seasons and daily limits.

     Marine Area 5: WDFW amended this proposal to close the October but extend the September wild coho fishery by three days and reopen it in November. The forecast of Strait of Juan de Fuca wild coho was low and required a lower exploitation rate than last year. The exploitation rate goal was met by these changes.

     Marine Area 7: WDFW amended this proposal to allow retention of wild coho retention during October. State and tribal fisheries were below the ten percent exploitation rate goal for upper Fraser River coho, allowing additional harvest opportunities on wild coho in this area.

     Marine Area 9: WDFW amended this proposal to close fishing south of a line from Olele Point to Foulweather Bluff during July 16 through August 31, except while fishing from the shore between the Hood Canal Bridge and Salsbury Point Park. WDFW was unable to negotiate a full opening for this area, but did secure the opening for the beach fishery.

     Marine Area 10: WDFW amended this proposal to reduce fishing in Elliott Bay and to simplify verbiage. The Green River chinook salmon forecast was not strong enough to allow as much fishing as last year, and therefore fishing opportunity was reduced.

     Marine Area 13: WDFW amended this proposal to open the month of February. State and tribal fisheries were below the exploitation rate goal for Dungeness River chinook salmon, allowing additional harvest opportunities in this area.
