Action:
Anglers must release all chinook salmon. In addition, fishing is closed from 100 yards downstream to 100 yards upstream of the mouths of Clear Creek and Kalama Creek.
Effective Date:
12:01 a.m. Sept. 22 until further notice.
Species affected:
Chinook salmon.
Location:
Nisqually River downstream of the military tank crossing.
Reason for action:
Chinook abundance appears to be down substantially from pre-season forecasts. The change is necessary to collect sufficient fish to meet spawning goals at the hatcheries.
