Washington State 2012-2013 Sportfishing Rules Sport Fishing Rules Pamphlet Corrections May 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013 Last updated March 27, 2013 Westside Rivers (Updated March 27, 2013) P. 58 Toutle River, South Fork (Lewis Co.) The selective gear and internal combustion motor prohibited rules are incorrectly listed for this section from mouth to 4100 Rd. Bridge. The correct gear restrictions ended March 15 when the All Game Fish season ended. Coastal Rivers (Updated June 5, 2012) P. 29 Chehalis River (Grays Harbor/Thurston/Lewis counties) The selective gear rules requirement is incorrect for these sections: • From mouth to Highway 6 Bridge in town of Adna • From Highway 6 Bridge in town of Adna to high bridge on Weyerhaeuser 1000 line approximately 400 yards downstream from Roger Creek. The correction to this rule is the removal of the selective gear rule requirement for these sections. P.30 Wynoochee River (Grays Harbor/ Jefferson counties) The selective gear rules requirement is incorrect for the section from WDFW White Bridge Access Site to 7400 Line Bridge above mouth of Schafer Creek. The correction to this rule is the removal of the selective gear rule requirement for this section. P.30 Wynoochee River (Grays Harbor/ Jefferson counties) The section from WDFW White Bridge Access Site to 7400 Line Bridge above mouth of Schafer Creek is missing “All Species” regulations. The correction is that this regulation should read “All species –August 16 through November 30: single-point barbless hooks required. September 16 through November 30: bait prohibited.” P.31 Blooms Ditch and Salmon Creek (Thurston County) The fishing area for these waters are missing. The correction is that the fishing areas for Blooms Ditch and Salmon Creek should read “from mouth to I-5.” 1 Eastside Lakes (Updated June 1, 2012) P. 92 Northwestern Reservoir (Klickitat/ Skamania counties) This entry is incorrect.The correction is that Northwestern Reservoir should be removed from the pamphlet because it no longer exists. Eastside Rivers (Updated June 6, 2012) P. 78 Mill Creek (Walla Walla County) The All Species regulations incorrectly list a season from September 1 through October 31. The correction is that the All Species regulations are year-round. The regulation should read “All species –Barbless hooks required. Selective gear rules. Internal combustion motors prohibited.” Puget Sound and Strait Rivers (Updated September 13, 2012) P. 43 Skykomish River (Snohomish County) The section from Gold Bar/ Big Eddy Access (Highway 2 Bridge) to confluence of North and South forks has an incorrect start date for fishing from any floating device prohibited from 1,000 feet downstream of the Reiter Ponds outlet to 1,500 feet upstream. The correction is that the regulation should state, “All Species --June 1 through February 15, fishing from a floating device is prohibited from 1000 feet downstream of Reiter Ponds outlet to 1500 feet upstream. P.46 Carbon River (Pierce Co.) From the mouth to Voights Creek, there is a season overlap for Other Game Fish and All Game Fish that results in conflicting rules for daily bag limits and minimum size. The All Game Fish rule is listed correctly. The correct season for Other Game Fish is Sept. 1 through Nov. 30. P. 46 White (Stuck) River (Pierce County) The section from R Street Bridge to Highway 410 Bridge at Buckley does not state that there is a closed waters section. The correction is that the following regulation should be added to this section, “Closed waters: Puget Power canal, including the screen bypass channel, above the screen at Dingle Basin.” P.47 Nisqually River (Pierce County) The internal combustion motors prohibited requirement for the section from Alder Reservoir upstream including Little Nisqually, Mineral Creek, and north fork Mineral Creek, and all other tributaries of Alder Reservoir is incorrect. The correction to this rule is the removal of the internal combustion motors prohibited requirement for this section. 2 P. 50 Skokomish River (Mason County) The section from the mouth to Highway 106 Bridge incorrectly allows retention of chum from September 16 through September 30. The correction is that the regulation should state “Release chum.” Westside Lakes (Updated August 22, 2012) Pioneer Ponds (tributary to Stillaguamish River) (Snohomish County) is not listed in the pamphlet. Their location is in the City of Arlington adjacent the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Museum, 20722 67th Ave NE. The correction is that Pioneer Pond is closed waters. 3 Contents Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife GENERAL RULES & INFORMATION Phil Anderson, Director New for 2012 ............................................3 Jim Scott, Assistant Director, Fish Program How to use this pamphlet .........................4 License Information ...............................6-7 Washington Fish & Wildlife Commission Catch Record Cards .................................8 General Information General Miranda Wecker, Chair, Naselle Rolland Schmitten, Leavenworth Catch Record Card Codes .......................9 Gary Douvia, Vice Chair, Kettle Falls Dr. Bradley Smith, Bellingham Definitions ..........................................10-11 Statewide General Rules .......................12 Dr. Conrad Mahnken, Bainbridge Island Jay Kehne, Omak Careful Handling of Fish .........................13 Chuck Perry, Moses Lake Larry Carpenter, Mount Vernon David Jennings, Olympia FRESHWATER GENERAL RULES Statewide Freshwater Rules..............15-17 Fish Program Statewide Customer Service Selected Game Fish ID Pictures .......18-19 1111 Washington St. SE, Olympia, WA 98501-1091 Eastern Brook Trout & (360) 902-2700 (8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Mon.-Fri.)

  • Considerations for Rezoning on Lakes
    STATE OF MAINE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, CONSERVATION & FORESTRY LAND USE PLANNING COMMISSION 22 STATE HOUSE STATION WALTER E. WHITCOMB PAUL R. LEPAGE AUGUSTA, MAINE 04333-0022 COMMISSIONER GOVERNOR NICHOLAS D. LIVESAY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Memorandum To: LUPC Commissioners From: Samantha Horn, Planning Manager Ben Godsoe, Senior Planner Date: October 5, 2018 Re: Considerations for Rezoning Near Lakes, Staff Analysis Lake resources are important to Maine’s character, environment and economy. Healthy lakes are a strong draw for local residents and visitors alike, and play a critical role in sustaining fish and wildlife populations. When the Commission considers the location of future subdivisions, it is important to be deliberate about which lakes may be near new zones for subdivisions. The May 2018 draft of rule revisions for adjacency included a proposal that any new zones for waterfront subdivision should be either 1) on a lake or pond that is within a certain distance of services (i.e., within primary or secondary locations); or 2) on a lake or pond that is already developed. Outside of primary or secondary locations, lakes under the proposed revisions that could be eligible for rezoning include management class 3, 4, and 5 lakes, as well as certain class 7 lakes. During the public hearing on the draft rule revisions, commenters raised concerns that there was not sufficient information available to tell which or how many class 7 lakes qualify as having sufficient development to make them potentially be eligible for rezoning. Without this information, commenters raised concerns that a large number of lakes could possibly be “open for development.” Commenters requested more information on which class 7 lakes could be affected by the proposal.

  • Natural Streamflow Estimates for Watersheds in the Lower Yakima River
    Natural Streamflow Estimates for Watersheds in the Lower Yakima River 1 David L. Smith 2 Gardner Johnson 3 Ted Williams 1 Senior Scientist-Ecohydraulics, S.P. Cramer and Associates, 121 W. Sweet Ave., Moscow, ID 83843, [email protected], 208-310-9518 (mobile), 208-892-9669 (office) 2 Hydrologist, S.P. Cramer and Associates, 600 NW Fariss Road, Gresham, OR 97030 3 GIS Technician, S.P. Cramer and Associates, 600 NW Fariss Road, Gresham, OR 97030 S.P. Cramer and Associates Executive Summary Irrigation in the Yakima Valley has altered the regional hydrology through changes in streamflow and the spatial extent of groundwater. Natural topographic features such as draws, coulees and ravines are used as drains to discharge irrigation water (surface and groundwater) back to the Yakima River. Salmonids are documented in some of the drains raising the question of irrigation impacts on habitat as there is speculation that the drains were historic habitat. We assessed the volume and temporal variability of streamflow that would occur in six drains without the influence of irrigation. We used gage data from other streams that are not influenced by irrigation to estimate streamflow volume and timing, and we compared the results to two reference streams in the Yakima River Valley that have a small amount of perennial streamflow. We estimate that natural streamflow in the six study drains ranged from 33 to 390 acre·ft/year depending on the contributing area. Runoff occurred infrequently often spanning years between flow events, and was unpredictable. The geology of the study drains was highly permeable indicating that infiltration of what runoff occurs would be rapid.

  • The Use of a Roving Creel Survey to Monitor Exploited Coastal Fish Species in the Goukamma Marine Protected Area, South Africa
    The use of a Roving Creel Survey to monitor exploited coastal fish species in the Goukamma Marine Protected Area, South Africa by Carika Sylvia van Zyl A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Technoligae, Nature Conservation Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University 2011 i I, Carika Sylvia van Zyl (s208027504) hereby declare that the work in this document is my own. ii Abstract A fishery-dependant monitoring method of the recreational shore-based fishery was undertaken in the Goukamma Marine Protected Area (MPA) on the south coast of South Africa for a period of 17 months. The method used was a roving creel survey (RCS), with dates, times and starting locations chosen by stratified random sampling. The MPA was divided into two sections, Buffalo Bay and Groenvlei, and all anglers encountered were interviewed. Catch and effort data were collected and catch per unit effort (CPUE) was calculated from this. The spatial distribution of anglers was also mapped. A generalized linear model (GLM) was fitted to the effort data to determine the effects of month and day type on the variability of effort in each section. Fitted values showed that effort was significantly higher on weekends than on week days, in both sections. A total average of 3662 anglers fishing 21 428 hours annually is estimated within the reserve with a mean trip length of 5.85 hours. Angler numbers were higher per unit coastline length in Buffalo Bay than Groenvlei, but fishing effort (angler hours) was higher in Groenvlei. Density distributions showed that anglers were clumped in easily accessible areas and that they favored rocky areas and mixed shores over sandy shores.
