2017 Humptulips River Fishing Report

WDFW FISHING RULE CHANGE

 

Clarifies regulations for the Humptulips River

Action: Anglers will be limited to one adult hatchery chinook as part of the two-adult salmon daily limit in the Humptulips River beginning Oct.16 through Oct. 31.

Beginning Nov. 1, anglers must release all chinook salmon.

This action nullifies a previous emergency rule change, which allowed for retention of two adult hatchery chinook, and makes the regulations on the Humptulips consistent with those listed in the 2017-18 Sport Fishing Rules pamphlet.

Species affected: Salmon.

Location and dates:  Humptulips River from the mouth to confluence with the East and West forks.

  • Oct. 16-Oct. 31Daily limit of six salmon, including up to two adults of which one adult may be a hatchery chinook. Anglers must release wild chinook and wild coho. Minimum size 12 inches.
  • Nov. 1-Jan. 31: Daily limit six salmon, including up to two adults. Anglers must release all chinook and wild coho. Minimum size 12 inches.

Reason for action: This is to provide clarity to the salmon fishing regulations on the Humptulips River. The regulations implement the fishing plans agreed-to with co-managers at the North of Falcon proceedings.

Other information:  Steelhead and gamefish rules are as listed in the 2017-18 Washington Sport Fishing Rules pamphlet.
