Puget Sound and Coastal Rivers - Special Rules With various fish populations across the state being listed under the Endangered SpeciesAct, WDFW must provide as much protection as possible for all life stages of these populations, in particular for rearing juveniles. For many years, the standard stream rule opened rivers, streams, and beaver ponds to fishing for Game Fish from the first Saturday in June – October 31, with an 8" minimum size, 2 fish/day limit. Consequently, much of the juvenile rearing habitat for resident trout and Dolly Varden and anadromous salmon, steelhead, cutthroat, and Bull Trout was open for fishing. As a result, these juvenile salmonids were at risk of being incidentally caught and may have not survived being handled and released, especially if bait was used. In 2010 we adopted a new management strategy that offered additional protection to stocks in streams draining into Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. In 2012 this strategy was extended to the Coast. The basic rule in these waters is that all rivers, streams, and beaver ponds are CLOSED to fishing unless they are listed in the following tables within the Puget Sound, Strait, and Coastal River sections of the pamphlet (see pages 23-51). These tables detail ALL of the fishing opportunity in these drainages. Areas open to fisheries are presented by river system unless the waters drain directly to salt water. All other waters in these drainages are closed to fishing. Beaver ponds located within or connected to streams listed as open toTROUT and Other Game Fish follow the same rules as the stream unless otherwise listed. We have provided a map of these watersheds (below) to get you started on locating an area where you would like to fish. There are also alphabetical listings of open areas (see pages 22 and 39). The Columbia River and its tributaries remain as listed in the conventional format and still fall under the statewide seasons, unless otherwise noted.

  • Times When Spawning Or Incubating Salmonids Are Least Likely to Be Within Washington State Freshwaters

    Times When Spawning Or Incubating Salmonids Are Least Likely to Be Within Washington State Freshwaters

    Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife TIMES WHEN SPAWNING OR INCUBATING SALMONIDS ARE LEAST LIKELY TO BE WITHIN WASHINGTON STATE FRESHWATERS June 1, 2018 Page 1 Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) biologists will use this table as a starting point when they consider timing restrictions for any hydraulic project for which they will issue a written HPA. WDFW developed this table based on the general conditions and fish life histories present within broad reaches of stream or sub- basins. Based on the site-specific conditions, circumstances, work proposed, and fish life stages present, timing restrictions for individual hydraulic project sites may differ from those upon which this table was based; therefore alternative work times may be appropriate for some projects. The table identifies times when salmonid eggs and fry are least likely to be incubating within stream gravels. In the case of some large streams, such as the Columbia and Snake Rivers, outmigration timing of smolts was also considered. Check the listing for the county in which in-water work will occur to identify times that may avoid impact to spawning and incubating fish life. Biologists will also consider such things as the expected impact of construction activities, equipment type and access, life history stages of all species of fish life present, presence or absence of spawning habitat and incubating fish at or near the project site, weather (heavy rain, snow, frozen soils), work site containment, wastewater management, best management practices proposed by the project proponent, mitigation measures volunteered or imposed upon the project, and other circumstances and conditions when permitting in-water work.

An important motivation for understanding orogenesis here, and throughout the Coast Range, is the concern about the relationship of active deformation to seismic hazards associated with the Cascadia subduction zone. There is also much interest in apportioning the nature of the deformation, whether cyclic or permanent, whether it involves mainly shortening parallel or normal to the margin, and how the deformation on the pro- versus retrowedge sides of the orogen compare. Pre-Holocene stratigraphy and structure provide the only records of suffi cient duration to separate long-term permanent deformation from earthquake-cycle elastic deformation.
  • Protecting Washington's Marine Environments: Tribal Perspectives1 May 8, 2007

    Protecting Washington's Marine Environments: Tribal Perspectives1 May 8, 2007

    Protecting Washington's Marine Environments: Tribal Perspectives1 May 8, 2007 Edward A. Whitesell2, Frances Wilshusen Schroeder3, and Preston Hardison4 ABSTRACT Serious decline of marine resources and ecosystems in western Washington has prompted a number of initiatives, at the regional and national levels, to establish more marine protected areas. We now have an historic opportunity to carefully examine how this might affect Native American rights and interests, before this component of our protected area systems undergoes further expansion and consolidation. We can learn from past mistakes with terrestrial protected areas, many of which did not respect Indigenous peoples’ rights and interests, and proceed in a direction that serves both conservation needs and socio-cultural needs, fully honoring and respecting the rights of Native peoples. This research used semi-structured interviews with prominent tribal leaders and marine natural resource managers in western Washington. It was found that the tribes are deeply concerned about declining marine environments and that they have supported some MPAs in the region but, at the same time, they are concerned about several aspects of the current push for more MPAs. This paper describes for policy makers the most reliable predictors of positive and neutral outcomes for tribes in the future development and management of MPA systems. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Serious decline of marine resources and ecosystems in western Washington has prompted a number of high-level initiatives, at the regional and national levels, to create new institutional structures, promote research and public education, and dramatically strengthen the effectiveness of policy responses to this situation (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 2006; Puget Sound Partnership 2006).
