Coastal bays and rivers: Another year of strong wild coho returns should provide good fishing in many of Washington’s coastal streams, including the Queets and Quillayute rivers, as well as those flowing into Grays Harbor and Willapa Bay.
One change this year will allow recreational anglers exclusive access to salmon in the prime fishing area of Willapa Bay (Marine Area 2-1). Waters off Tokeland in the northcentral portion of the bay – known as 2T – will be open for recreational salmon fishing only from 6 p.m. Aug. 15 through 6 p.m. Sept. 15.

Anglers fishing in Willapa Bay also will be allowed to use two fishing poles, with the purchase of a two-pole endorsement, from Aug. 1
through Jan. 31.

...hasn't Willapa bay been traditionally targeted heavily by commercials? Just wonderin' why the exclusivity towards sporties?
