FISHING RULE CHANGE
WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, WA 98501-1091 |
October 10, 2018
Action:
Increase the daily salmon limit to 4 fish, including up to 2 wild coho. Release chinook and chum.
Effective date:
Oct. 10, 2018.
Species affected:
Coho salmon.
Location:
Skagit River (Skagit County) from the mouth to the Cascade River Road (Marblemount Bridge).
Reason for action:
On Oct. 9, WDFW and co-managers revised the projection for returning Skagit River coho to 90,000 fish, up from 73,000. The increased run size allows Skagit River coho daily limits to be raised.
Additional information:
The Skagit River from the mouth to 200 feet upstream of the Baker River remains closed to all fishing on Oct. 10 and 11. More information on that closure can be found online at https://fortress.wa.gov/dfw/erules/efishrules/erule.jsp?id=2226.
All other rules remain unchanged. Please refer to https:
