These rule changes are described in the front section of 2011/2012 “Fishing in Washington” regulations pamphlet (available on or before May 1, 2011) and online at http://wdfw.wa.gov for the actual regulatory language and rules. For a complete text and a listing of the changes made by the WDFW Commission at the February, March and April 2011 meetings, please refer to http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulations/rule_proposals/. STATEWIDE RULE CHANGES In the past, statewide rule changes have been included in Fishing Prospects for the benefit of the anglers accessing this document. Unfortunately this will no longer happen due to the timing of the publication and regulation change/approval timelines. Currently all salmon marine water rules are negotiated under the North of Falcon committee process. The outcomes will be announced just prior to the release of the “Fishing in Washington” sport fish regulations pamphlet. Refer to this pamphlet and to the agency website for all changed, new and for those updated throughout the season. The website is http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/ . Please make sure that you return/report your catch record information for fishing and crabbing. The information on these cards is vital to providing accurate fish and crab harvest numbers. Remember that early crab, late crab and fish catch-record cards are three separate documents and that means there is the potential for three separate fees being imposed. If you are a Master Hunter, please be aware that failure to report these on time can result in the loss of that certification for up to five years. Again, check the website and rules pamphlet for more information regarding this change as it will be noted in the “new rule changes” section for all to be aware of. Remember, when preparing to enjoy a day on the water fishing, it is each angler’s responsibility to know the rules for the waters they are fishing in. Keep a copy of the current Fishing in Washington Sport Fishing regulations pamphlet with you at all times and be sure to check the WDFW website for any changes that may have occurred after the publication of regulation pamphlet. 2011 Fishing Prospects 5 INTRODUCTION Washington State continues to provide good to excellent marine fishing and shell-fishing along more than 500 miles of Pacific coast shoreline, and over 2,000 combined miles of Puget Sound, San Juan Islands, Strait of Juan de Fuca and Hood Canal shoreline. Sport fishing opportunities also abound in our 4,000 rivers and streams (stretching over 50,000 miles), more than 7,000 lakes (over 2,500 at alpine elevations) and 200+ reservoirs. Many lakes in the state are now open year around, but the spring lake fishing “opener” on the last Saturday in April signals the traditional start of Washington’s most intense freshwater fishing activity. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) estimates that as many as 300,000 anglers are out looking for a “bite” on that weekend alone. Other waters are managed in shorter seasons, often to protect nesting waterfowl or for other biological reasons. To meet fishing demand, WDFW hatcheries stock about 19 million trout and kokanee fry annually that will grow to catchable size in time for the spring opener. Another three million catchable trout are planted in lakes and streams in the late winter through spring. In addition, a number of lakes throughout the state will receive “bonus” plants of sterile triploid rainbow trout that can grow to impressive size. For a list of lakes and streams that are planted, along with their scheduled allotments of fish, visit http://wdfw.wa.gov. Phone numbers and website address information can be found at the front of this publication. Rivers and streams generally open the first Saturday in June, after trout have had a chance to spawn and most anadromous salmonid smolts (juvenile salmon, steelhead, sea-run cutthroat, and char) migrate to saltwater. Most rivers and streams are now managed to produce wild trout, coastal and westslope cutthroat, salmon and steelhead. Consequently, few are stocked with hatchery reared trout. Open seasons for marine fish, anadromous fish and shellfish vary according to species, and sometimes are set or adjusted during the year. Some rules and seasons may seem complex or restrictive, but are necessary to protect fragile populations of animals and in the case of shellfish sometimes are set to protect people. In addition to more publicized fish planting programs, WDFW also manages stocking programs designed to enhance fishing opportunities for species such as clams and oysters. Shellfish beaches and regulations are listed on WDFW’s website. Winter storms sometimes have a negative impact on fisheries. Excess silt coupled with strong stream flows can present serious problems for egg and juvenile fish survival, and excess turbidity hurts survival and growth of fry. Road washouts can make access to some waters difficult due to lowered water levels or stream blockages, and can also have a negative effect on egg and juvenile salmonid survival.

  • Recreation Reports Are Printed Every Other Week. February 17, 2016
    Editor’s Note: Recreation Reports are printed every other week. February 17, 2016 Recent rain storms and warmer afternoon temperatures have caused snow at lower elevations and in valley bottoms to melt. There is still a lot of snow in the woods, but very low elevation areas are quickly melting out with bare ground, ditch lines, stumps, downed logs and other hidden obstacles rapidly emerging from the snow. Along with the snow melt comes higher water levels in local rivers, creeks and streams especially in the afternoon. A stream that is easily crossed in the early morning hours may become impassable later in the day when temperatures accelerate snow melt. Also, snow bridges over waterways may not be sturdy enough to carry the weight of a person or snow machine; always test these areas before using them. Check current weather and avalanche forecasts before venturing out; go to www.nwac.us for current avalanche conditions. As temperatures increase, snow grooming operations may be sporadic on snowmobile and cross- country ski routes. It is not uncommon for ice to build up overnight and then melt off a bit during the day. Be sure to park in a manner so that your vehicle doesn’t sink in the melting snow and then freeze in place as temperatures drop in the evening. Other signs of spring-like conditions seen in the forest and along local rivers is the abundance of birds migrating back to the area. Chickadees, juncos, finches, sparrows, geese, ducks, and swans are just a few of the birds seen locally.

  • Urban Refuge Program of the Portland-Vancouver Metro Area
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Urban Refuge Program of the Portland-Vancouver Metro Area 2016 Rept: Cover art created by Simone Carsey, a volunteer for Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge and student at Southridge High School in Beaverton, OR. Building upon the many relationships that marked the first year of the Urban Refuge Program in 2015, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) continued to engage the Portland-Vancouver Metro Area in 2016 through its four local National Wildlife Refuges: Tualatin River, Ridgefield, Steigerwald Lake, and Wapato Lake. Pivotal to the success of these unique places within the landscape of public lands are our Friends groups — Friends of Tualatin River Refuge, Friends of Ridgefield Refuge, and the Columbia Gorge Refuge Stewards — who have joined us in this journey to engage an ever-changing community in relevant and meaningful ways. As we continue to calibrate the compass of the Urban Refuge Program and adjust to lessons learned, we invite you to take a journey through our engagement at these beautiful refuges, in vibrant neighborhoods, and with growing community coalitions. National Wildlife Refuges natural places to build community National Wildlife Refuges hold a special place among public lands. They have an expressed purpose to manage and restore lands for the benefit of wildlife and their habitats, and provide opportunities for people to learn about and engage with nature. Refuges simultaneously offer a view to the past, present, and future of the human relationship to the natural world. We are fortunate to have four examples of this relationship in the Portland-Vancouver Metro Area.
