FISHING RULE CHANGE
WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, WA 98501-1091 |
October 2, 2015
Action:
Open salmon fishing in the all waters of the Big Quilcene River.
Effective Date:
Immediately through Oct. 31, 2015.
Species affected:
Salmon
Location:
All waters of the Big Quilcene River from the mouth to Highway 101
Reason for action:
Flows in the Big Quilcene River have responded positively to a change in the weather pattern. Coho are now moving in the Quilcene river and water temperatures have dropped significantly. Environmental conditions now support a return to the regular coho fishing season in Big Quilcene River.
Other information:
Other waters in marine area 12 remain unaffected by this rule change. Daily limit of 4 coho, minimum size 12 inches, only fish hooked inside the mouth may be retained.
