WDFW FISHING RULE CHANGE
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, WA 98501-1091
http://wdfw.wa.gov
January 14, 2008
Closure of the Cascade River to fishing
Action: The lower Cascade River will close to all fishing, to ensure egg-take goals are met for hatchery winter steelhead at the Marblemount Hatchery.
Effective dates: Jan. 17, 2008 until further notice.
Species affected: All gamefish.
Location: Cascade River from the mouth upstream to Rockport-Cascade Road.
Reasons for action: The Marblemount Hatchery facility has approximately 50 percent of the egg-take requirements that are needed to achieve the 229,000 hatchery steelhead smolt release target. The closure of the fishery is necessary in order to collect sufficient fish to meet egg-take needs.
Other information: When egg-take requirements are met, the fishery will reopen as outlined in the 2007/2008 Fishing in Washington Sport Fishing Rules pamphlet.
Information Contact: Brett Barkdull, District 14 fish biologist, 360-466-4345 x 270, [email protected] .
