I am reading it last year Feb. 2001;
Salmon- no more than 2 adults, except 6 adults but only 2 adult CHINOOK Sept.1-Dec.31. Release all CHUM. Wild COHO release.

This year rule change dated Feb. 5, 2002, effective Feb. 6, 2002 thru the end of this years steelhead season as noted in the Washington rules pamphlet;
Lewis River-from boundary markers at mouth to mouth of East Fork Feb.6 to April 30- Daily limit 6 but no more than 2 adults-release chinook with adipose fin intact

May 1-July 31- Daily limit 6 but no more than 2 adults-release all chinook with adipose fin intact

See the bottom of the page labled "Reason for Action" for more explanations. Also note the # for Craig Burley @ (360) 696-6221 if you are still confused. I also found this information posted in January which may explain some more, also note "Reason for Action".
I hope this helps if not contact your "Attorney" laugh
