FISHING RULE CHANGE
WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, WA 98501-1091 |
August 23, 2021
Action:
Suspends retention of Chinook salmon.
Effective date:
12 a.m., August 25 through September 30, 2021.
Species affected:
Chinook salmon.
Location:
Tacoma-Vashon Island (Marine Area 11).
Rule:
Salmon daily limit 2. No min. size. Release Chinook.
Reason for action:
The current estimate of Chinook harvest is 3,181 of the total harvest quota of 3,084 (103%) agreed to in this year's List of Agreed Fisheries (LOAF). Because the harvest quota has been reached, WDFW staff have made the decision to suspend Chinook retention.

This fishing rule change does not affect the Marine Area 11 coho and pink fisheries, which continue as planned.
This rule does not effect the following year-round piers:
Des Moines Pier, Les Davis Pier, Point Defiance Boathouse Dock, and Redondo Pier.
