WDFW FISHING RULE CHANGE
Wallace River to reopen to fishing for coho, gamefish
Action: Open the Wallace River to fishing.
Effective dates: Sept. 30 through Nov. 30, 2017.
Rules:
From the mouth (farthest downstream railroad bridge) to 200 feet upstream of the water intake for the salmon hatchery.
From 200 feet upstream of the water intake for the salmon hatchery upstream to Wallace Falls, opens to fishing Nov. 1, as described in the 2017/2018 Sport Fishing Rules Pamphlet.
Species affected: Coho salmon, gamefish.
Closure locations: The Wallace River from the mouth upstream to Wallace Falls.
Reason for action: The river was closed Sept. 16 to ensure that chinook broodstock goals were met at the Wallace Hatchery. Chinook broodstock goals have now been met.
Additional Information: Pink salmon abundance remains below escapement goals, so pink salmon must be released. Under statewide general rules there is no fishing within 400 feet downstream of the hatchery weir. To insure future generations of fish, avoid stepping on redds (spawning nests) while fishing.
Information contact: WDFW Region 4 Mill Creek Office, (425) 775-1311.
