If you’ve spotted a seine net in Lake Union or the Lake Washington Ship Canal recently, it’s likely WDFW scientists at work! Please do not tamper with the net or any fish trap. Teams are sampling migrating salmon as part of ongoing Puget Sound watershed health monitoring.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) announced a modification to the Marine Area 4 (Neah Bay) rule that opens the shallow water areas surrounding Duntze and Duncan rocks to bottomfish anglers when fishing is restricted to inside 20 fathoms from June 1-July 31.
Refer to the news release for additional information on the Marine Area 4 rule. wdfw.wa.gov/newsroom/news-….
Anglers choosing to fish around Duncan and Duntze rocks north of Tatoosh Island should be aware the area includes other rocks below the surface & is exposed to especially strong currents & unpredictable ocean swell. Use caution & study depth charts carefully if fishing this area.
The all-depth fishery in Marine Area 1 (Ilwaco) is managed to 19,299 pounds (including the Oregon portion of the Columbia River quota). Through May 24, anglers harvested an estimated 6,554 pounds. Refer to the news release for additional information at wdfw.wa.gov/newsroom/news-….
“Recent poor weather conditions and rising fuel prices likely reduced effort in the spring," Fitch said. "The extra time on the water should provide more opportunities to catch halibut as we welcome in the early part of the summer.”
The all-depth halibut fishing in Marine Area 1 (Ilwaco) is expected to open for six additional days on June 8, 9, 15, 16, 22, and 23, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) announced today. Photo by WDFW. Photo by David Bergeron.
