Led to Frustration and a Belief That WDFW Often Ignores the Needs and Interests of Our Area Far Away from Olympia July 30, 2014 Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission 600 Capitol Way N. Olympia, WA 98501 Dear Commissioners, The Northwest Olympic Peninsula Sportfishing Coalition (NWOSPC) a registered non-profit corporation whose membership includes local businesses, community leaders and recreational anglers that frequent the Northwest Olympic Peninsula for recreational fishing wish to express our significant concern over fisheries management in this area. Several decisions over the last few years combined with non- responsiveness by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) to our concerns has impacted recreational angling, our economy and wild fish conservation efforts here in our area. This has led to frustration and a belief that WDFW often ignores the needs and interests of our area far away from Olympia. As the President of this organization I am writing to you with the greatest of urgency to document our concerns and urge action by the Commission, WDFW leadership and legislators to reform management and help us move in a direction that places the needs of our community, our businesses and the recreational anglers that we depend on at a much higher priority. Recreational angling on the Northwest Olympic Peninsula is a primary economic contributor to our many small rural communities. Without the revenue that sport fishing generates our communities and small businesses suffer immensely. Despite the overwhelming importance of recreational fishing here on the Northwest Olympic Peninsula, WDFW’s management decisions appear to be made without a full understanding of the issues, often lack transparency and very often exclude valued input from our sport fishing guides, recreational anglers and community leaders that have a vested interest in this area. WDFW decisions also tend to be heavily weighted on outside interests that have no vested interest in our community and its resources. This type of management and the resulting decisions have created a crisis in our community by constraining the success of our fisheries and inducing undue harm on the health of precious wild stocks. We believe there is lack of understanding and non-responsiveness to our concerns that cannot continue without dire consequences to our community and small businesses here on the Northwest Olympic Peninsula. We sincerely urge the Commission and WDFW to reform fisheries management in a way that supports WDFW’s most important client, the recreational anglers, and help support the rural communities that depend on the income they generate. Here is a summary of the key issues that are creating a crisis here on the Northwest Olympic Peninsula: • 50% reduction in Sol Duc River Hatchery Coho Production • 78% reduction in adult hatchery Coho returning to the Sol Duc River • 40% reduction in the Quileute River System hatchery winter steelhead production • Elimination of our successful 25 year community funded and operated Snider Creek Winter Steelhead Broodstock Program on the Sol Duc River • Lack of support to move the Snider Creek Steelhead Broodstock Program to the Bogachiel River. • Closure of the Hoh River for Spring and Summer Chinook Salmon • Elimination of all summer steelhead production on the Sol Duc River, 25K smolts. • Continuing decline of wild fall Chinook populations without requested harvest restrictions • Impacts from the Puget Sound Steelhead Litigation Agreement We are currently working with our local legislators and other key legislators to inform them of our critical issues and how our economy and way of life is being impacted. Because many of our members are also members of the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA), Puget Sound Anglers (PSA) and the Northwest Sportfishing Industry Association (NSIA) we offer our support to their on-going efforts to help reform fisheries management in this state. We share many of the same concerns that these groups have expressed regarding the need change in the way WDFW prioritizes and manages our recreational fisheries and our concerns. As such, our organization does not feel in can support legislation to increase recreational fishing license fees or reauthorize endorsements unless significant progress is made in addressing our issues. Simply put we cannot continue to support increases in fees when our resources and opportunity continue to be reduced or taken away completely. I am including an attachment that includes a more thorough explanation of our issues. We are also outlining key recommendations that will help our community, our recreational anglers and our small businesses. Our community has endured several reductions that have created a crisis. Quite frankly we find this to be quite troubling because our area is one that has the least amount of limitations from the Endanger Species Act (ESA) and other limiting factors that affect Puget Sound and the Columbia River. I and others from our community are very interested in meeting with Commission members and WDFW Director Anderson to determine how we can best resolve our issues. We believe there are a number of issues that could be easily resolved in the short term which would help restore trust in working with WDFW. It would also help to establish a platform to tackle the long term challenges associated with WDFW’s management of our issues here on the Northwest Olympic Peninsula. I very much appreciate your consideration in this matter and look forward to hearing from you and Director Anderson to schedule a time to discuss our issues and develop a path forward. Sincerely, Robert Kratzer, President Northwest Olympic Sportfishing Coalition (360) 271-7197 Email: [email protected] cc: Phil Anderson Director Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Honorable Governor Jay Inslee, Representative Kevin Van De Wege, Representative Steve Tharinger, Senator James Hargrove, Senator Kirk Pearson, Senator Marko Liias, Senator Jim Honeyford, Representative Hans Dunshee, Senator Kevin Ranker, City of Forks, City Council, Board of Clallam County Commissioners, Chaz Woodruff Quileute Tribal Council Critical Issues for Fisheries Management on the Northwest Olympic Peninsula Sol Duc Hatchery Coho Reduction As a result of the economic downturn and WDFW’s budget cuts in 2009 and 2010, the Agency elected to substantially reduce hatchery summer and fall Coho production by 75% at the Sol Duc River Salmon Hatchery. This run of Coho salmon created a very popular fishery from September through November which provided a substantial revenue stream for our local businesses. It was also an important contributor to Quileute Tribal fisheries and our ocean sport fishery out of La Push and Neah Bay. As a result of the reduction the Quileute Tribe graciously provided money to bump the production back to about 50% of what it was before the cuts. Our community leaders including the City of Forks, our local guide association and recreation anglers have repeatedly requested WDFW to provide information and provide an estimated cost to further restore this lost production. WDFW has been non-responsive to our requests for over 2 years. Our organization and community have already set funding aside and are prepared to work with legislators to raise funding to restore this production. However, we cannot achieve our goal without the support and cooperation of WDFW. We need a definitive response on what it will take to restore summer and fall Coho production. We also need the full support of WDFW and the Commission to implement this project. This 50% reduction in hatchery production has resulted in a 78% reduction in the average number of adult hatchery Coho returning to the Sol Duc River. A once popular fishery where the average angler could count on harvesting a reasonable number of fish has been eliminated. This has decimated our once popular fishery and led to a direct loss of close to a million dollars from our rural community from September to the end of November. Snider Creek Winter Steelhead Broodstock Program Twenty five years ago The Olympic Peninsula Guide Association started a Brood Stock Program (Snider Creek) for Wild Steelhead on the Sol Duc River. This project involved key and now iconic community members, the city of Forks and WDFW. This program was funded for 25 years by the Olympic Peninsula Guide Association and the City of Forks with very little contribution from the state. Based on an outcry from wild steelhead conservation groups whose membership is primarily non-local with no vested interest in our community and speculative data on the impact to the wild steelhead stocks on the Sol Duc River WDFW eliminated our highly prized community project. Our community moral was decimated to say the least. In eliminating this project WDFW promised our guide association and our community leaders the opportunity to move this program to the Bogachiel River where there is a hatchery influence. Needless to say this has been a very stressful and trying process to get this program up and running. We have been diligently working to collect river temperature and stream flow data and find an appropriate location for rearing these fish at the request of WDFW. However, until very recently WDFW has been very non- supportive and essentially non-responsive to our efforts to move this program to the Bogachiel River. We have provided information, researched sites for rearing and have repeatedly requested WDFW to provide us a clear path to implement this program. We were recently informed by an outside interest group that a meeting was to be held on June 10, 2014 with the Wild Steelhead and Cutthroat Advisory Board to discuss the effort to transition the Snider Creek Project to the Bogachiel River. We were told that the Wild Steelhead and Cutthroat Advisory Board would recommend against this project. We were not informed of nor invited to attend this important discussion. This group was given critical information regarding timelines and path forward before we were ever informed of it. This is a good example of WDFW utilizing outside interest groups to direct decisions that impact rural communities without due diligence to coordinate with the community that is to be impacted.

  • Ecology and Habitat Requirements of Fish Populations in South Fork Hoh River, Olympic National Park
    Ecology and Habitat Requirements of Fish Populations in South Fork Hoh River, Olympic National Park J.R. Sedell, P.A. Bisson, J.A. June, and R.W. Speaker ABSTRACT Four distinct running water habitats are defined and examined on the South Fork Hoh River--main river channel, river off-channel areas, terrace tributaries, and valley wall tributaries. Species compositions, densities, and total fish biomasses are distinctly different for each habitat examined. Habitat formed by the main river channel and its tributaries is controlled by the valley terrace structure and the modifying effects of large woody debris. Without large wood, spawning and rearing habitat quality would be poorer, even in the large channel. Virtually all rearing of salmonid fish occurs in river off-channel areas and tributaries. The main channel is used mainly for spawning and migration. Fish densities and biomasses are highest in streams along the valley floor. Alteration of these areas will have greatest impact on fish production. J. R.

How healthy are healthy stocks? Case studies of three salmon and steelhead stocks in Oregon and Washington, including population status, threats, and monitoring recommendations. David Evans and Associates, Inc. Report. Portland, Oregon, USA. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Three salmon stocks were chosen for case studies in Oregon and Washington that were previously identified as “healthy” in a coast-wide assessment of stock status (Huntington et al. 1996): fall chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) of the Wilson River, summer steelhead (O. mykiss) of the Middle Fork John Day (MFJD) River, and winter steelhead (O. mykiss) of the Sol Duc River. The purpose of the study was to examine with a finer focus the status of these three stocks and the array of human influences that affect them. The best available information was used, some of which has become available since the 1996 assessment of healthy stocks was conducted. Recommendations for monitoring were developed to address priority data gaps and most pressing threats to the species.

  • The Bogachiel River System
    The Bogachiel River System Within the Bogachiel River system, a number of stream reaches qualify as shorelines of statewide significance. The mainstem BOGACHIEL (RM 0 – 17.6) contains no reach breaks under the current SMP. The portion of the Bogachiel that flows through the Forks Urban Growth Area (FUGA) extends from approximately RM 8.9 to 10.1. Tributary reaches include the following: BEAR‐BOGACHIEL (RM 0‐4.2); DRY‐BOGACHIEL (RM 0‐.5); MAXFIELD 10 (RM 0‐2.7); MAXFIELD 20 (RM 2.7‐4.4); MILL (RM 0 – 1.3); MURPHY 10 (RM 0‐ 1.7); MURPHY 20 (RM 1.7‐ 2.1); and DRY‐BOGACHIEL (RM 0‐ .5). The portion of MILL CR that is within the FUGA extends from RM .8‐ 1.3. The creek flows outside of FUGA and then returns into FUGA boundaries (RM .1) upstream of its confluence with the Bogachiel. The portion of Mill Creek that is outside of FUGA extends from RM 0.1 ‐ .8. Physical Environment The headwaters of the Bogachiel River lie outside the current planning area in the steep terrain of the Olympic National Park. As it enters the planning unit, it flows in a northwesterly direction with several miles in close proximity to US 101. West of the Forks UGA, its largest tributary, the Calawah River, flows into the Bogachiel.
