WDFW Fishing Rule Change
Anglers must release all salmon except hatchery coho on the Snohomish, Skykomish, Snoqualmie and Wallace Rivers
Action: Release all salmon except for hatchery coho (marked with a clipped adipose fin) on the Snohomish river System.
Effective dates: Sunday, Oct. 29, through Dec. 31, 2017.
Species affected: All salmon.
Locations:
Reason for action: Spawning ground surveys, counts at the Sunset Falls trap, and Wallace Hatchery rack returns indicate that the run sizes of coho and pink salmon in the Snohomish watershed are well below pre-season forecasts. To protect future runs, spawning escapement goals must be met. Fisheries may be reopened if escapement goals are projected to be met.
Additional information: Gamefish and trout remain open as described in the 2017-18 Fishing Rules Pamphlet.
Information contact: WDFW, Mill Creek, Region 4 Office, (425) 775-1311.
This concludes our 2017 Snohomish River Fishing Report.
