Statewide stream fishing opening June 1;
Posted by glock on Tuesday, May 24, 2005 (13:37:53) (1167 reads)
Halibut, lingcod anchor saltwater fishing options
OLYMPIA - Rivers throughout Washington will open for trout fishing June 1, adding to the growing list of piscatorial possibilities in the weeks ahead. Also that day, stretches of the Skagit and Skykomish rivers open to fishing for hatchery spring chinook salmon.
First, though, comes the May 22 opener of shad and hatchery steelhead fishing in portions of the lower Columbia River. Also, ongoing statewide seasons for trout, bass and perch are improving with warmer weather. Saltwater anglers have a full plate of options, too, including seasons for halibut, lingcod, rockfish and Cabezon.
Decisions, decisions.
Halibut catches have been good along the coast and into Puget Sound. So good, in fact, that the recreational season off the north coast of Washington closes tonight (May 18) at 11:59 p.m. when the catch is expected to reach the first quota. Fishing in marine areas 3 and 4 is expected to reopen in June, so stay tuned. Waters off Ilwaco and Westport remain open, as do the San Juans and other potentially productive fishing grounds.
Fishing for big walleye is "red hot" at Moses Lake, while the action for hatchery stocked rainbow trout, perch, crappie, smallmouth and largemouth bass is going strong elsewhere in eastern Washington.

shad and steelhead season on HOLD
Posted by Lwagg2 on Tuesday, May 10, 2005 (23:27:22) (1690 reads)
For Immediate Release Tuesday, May 10, 2005
Columbia River will not open to shad or steelhead angling
Decision protects spring chinook stocks
CLACKAMAS - Oregon and Washington fishery managers decided Tuesday to postpone the upcoming shad and steelhead angling seasons in the Columbia River in an effort to reduce risks to spring chinook listed under the federal Endangered Species Act.
Officials emphasized, however, that abundant fishing opportunities remain for sturgeon in the Columbia and for spring chinook, steelhead and shad in Columbia River tributaries. The Columbia River Compact will meet again next Tuesday and could reopen the shad fishery then.
The shad fishery in the mainstem Columbia River was slated to re-open May 16, from the mouth at Buoy 10 upstream to Bonneville Dam. The steelhead fishery between the Rocky Point-Tongue Point line and the Interstate 5 Bridge also was slated to open Monday.
The mainstem Columbia River from Buoy 10 to McNary Dam remains closed to the harvest of spring chinook.
During a Columbia River Compact teleconference Tuesday morning, Oregon and Washington fish biologists predicted the number of spring chinook entering the Columbia River destined for locations above Bonneville Dam to be 78,800. The pre-season forecast was for 254,100 spring chinook to enter the Columbia.
"With a run this short of predicted numbers, it is important we do everything we can to protect these listed salmon stocks," said ODFW Fisheries Division Assistant Administrator Steve Williams.
Fish managers set the Columbia River spring chinook fishery based on the number of fish expected to return from the ocean and the allowable impact to wild salmon and steelhead stocks listed under the federal Endangered Species Act. "Impacts" are the unintended mortalities associated with handling and releasing wild fish. The allowed non-Indian impacts for ESA-listed Snake River spring/summer chinook and Upper Columbia River spring chinook are 2 percent for funs greater than 82,000, but drops to 1.5 percent for runs less than 82,000. While the potential to harm a listed spring chinook is small during the shad and steelhead seasons, fish managers did not want to take any chances.
The following fisheries provide other angling opportunities:
Columbia River and lower Willamette River sturgeon: The area between the Buoy 10 and Wauna Power lines reopens May 14 for the retention of sturgeon seven days a week. Between Wauna Power lines and Beacon Rock, including the lower Willamette River, anglers may retain sturgeon Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Catch-and-release sturgeon angling is allowed Sunday - Wednesday.
Columbia River select area and tributary spring chinook: Tributaries to the Columbia River including Big Creek, Youngs River and Sandy River remain open for spring chinook angling under permanent regulations listed in the 2005 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations. In addition, Youngs Bay and Blind/Knappa Slough also remain open.
Willamette River salmon, steelhead and shad: Open for adipose fin-clipped chinook and adipose fin-clipped steelhead all year with a two salmon or steelhead daily catch limit under permanent regulations. Shad fishing also is open all year with no daily catch limits.
In other action, the Columbia River Compact members decided to approve three commercial fishing periods for spring chinook in the select areas of Blind/Knappa Slough, Deep River and Youngs Bay beginning tonight at 7 p.m. The remaining two fishing periods will go forward if no upriver spring chinook are landed tonight.
"Because these fisheries are located outside the mainstem Columbia River, we expect they will have no impact on salmon bound for upriver," Williams said.
Additional information current regulations on open fisheries can be found in the 2005 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations and the ODFW Web page at http://www.dfw.state.or.us/ODFWhtml/Regulations/2005_reg_changes.htm. Additional information about the Columbia River spring chinook season is found on ODFW's Web page at http://www.dfw.state.or.us/OSCRP/CRM/action_notes.html .

Washington State Fishing at a Glance
Posted by glock on Friday, April 08, 2005 (19:19:15) (1449 reads)
Fishing is picking up statewide with advancing spring weather, although anglers will have to wait a bit longer than usual this year for the season's biggest opener. The statewide lowland lake fishing season always opens on the last Saturday of April, and this year that falls on the last day of the month, April 30. Fish biologists are testing some waters now to check on over-wintering fish growth and condition and are expected to report their findings by mid-month.

New licenses and permits for the 2005-06 season
Posted by glock on Thursday, March 10, 2005 (20:25:29) (1105 reads)
Anglers and other outdoor enthusiasts are reminded that 2004-05 fishing and hunting licenses, as well as vehicle access permits, expire March 31. New licenses and permits for the 2005-06 season, valid from April 1, 2005 through March 31, 2006, are now available by phone, over the Internet and from hundreds of license dealers.
The rates for annual fishing and hunting licenses remain unchanged from last year. Not counting dealer fees, the resident adult freshwater fishing license is $21.90; saltwater is $19.71; shellfish/seaweed is $10.95; and a combination license is $41.61. A Puget Sound crab endorsement is $3. Resident hunting licenses vary with package options, ranging from a small-game license at $32.85 to a deer/elk/cougar/bear combination license for $72.27.
Annual licenses include a WDFW vehicle-use permit, which gives the bearer access to more than 600 WDFW recreational access sites throughout the state. Sold separately, the annual costs $10.95.
To purchase a license electronically, go to http://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov/ on the Internet. Only the license holder's Washington Interactive Licensing Database (WILD) identification number (or name and birthdate) is necessary if the individual is currently licensed in the WILD system. If the recipient is not currently licensed, the purchaser also needs to provide the license holder's address, telephone number, Social Security number, height, weight and eye color.
Licenses can also be purchased by telephone by calling 1-866-246-9453. For those interested in buying a license in person, a list of license vendors is available on the WDFW website or by calling local WDFW offices.
Another option is to enter a friend or family member in WDFW’s quarterly drawings for a lifetime of hunting and fishing privileges. Tickets cost $6.50 for state residents and $12.50 for non-residents. Each ticket is valid 365 days and provides an individual eight opportunities to win a lifetime of hunting and fishing privileges.
