And a Deep Creek Rule Change to make it the same as the adjacent Columbia main stem...

*****************

FISHING RULE CHANGE

Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife

February 19, 2010

Hatchery adult spring chinook

daily limit to change in Deep River



Action: The daily limit for salmon in Deep River (Wahkiakum County) may not include more than one hatchery adult chinook during those days when the adjacent waters of the mainstem Columbia River are open to retention of spring chinook.

Effective date: March 1 through April 18, 2010.

Species affected: Salmon

Location: Deep River (Wahkiakum County) from the mouth to town bridge.

Reason for action: Boats launching from Deep River also fish the mainstem Columbia. This regulation will make the rules for both areas identical and easier to enforce.

Additional Information: Fishing for salmonids and shad on the adjacent mainstem Columbia is open 7 days per week, except closed on March 9, 16, 23 and 30. The daily salmonid limit is 6 fish, of which no more than 2 may be adult chinook salmon or hatchery steelhead of which no more than one may be an adult chinook. All wild chinook must be released.

Information contact: (360) 696-6211. For latest information press *1010.

Fishers must have a current Washington fishing license, appropriate to the fishery. Check the WDFW "Fishing in Washington" rules pamphlet for details on fishing seasons and regulations. Fishing rules are subject to change. Check the WDFW Fishing hotline for the latest rule information at (360) 902-2500, press 2 for recreational rules.

They're trying to spread out those 17,000 fish for sportsman and are trying to avoid the blood bath at least in the states eyes...

They'll do anything to keep us from fishing a "staging" area from the boats...

Just stay ahead of the game... Here's how...

Better build you a monster side planer with a flourescent colored that pops up on a bite, one that could handle a big jet diver behind it... That will be the new gimick to get the job done.. Picture it, standing up on the rip rap around the oak tree with a spool of 400 yards of tuff line. Run the side planer out with shrimp/eggs behind a 50 foot diver in the deeper water or a 20 foot diver for the shallower stuff... Death I tell ya and you wouldn't even interfere with the plunkers....

Care to come watch? what

I am getting jacked! Two different buds today went 1-2 in different boats. One was 20+. Pretty early to be even thinkn about it?... maybe not? I think the lack of runoff this year, with early warmer water temps could mean better early action. I may put my Steelhead gear away early this year.

Maybe your dumb ass needs to learn a different method of fishing besides sitting below dam fishing. Have you ever fished below a hatchery? My guess is yes with you.

Nominated as the dumbest post of the year!!!

Let's see, have you ever fished below a hatchery? Hmm, we're targeting hatchery spring chinook aren't we??

What's wrong with wanting to fish a staging area for hatchery springers anyhow?

As a guide I see where you have massed your wealth of information and skills. Maybe there's a method behind the madness behind the powers to be decision. Could it be to maybe curtail the (many) wanna be guides that focus on fish that stage below a dam? What's it take to become a guide anyhow? Considering you made it the bar can't be to high.

So, you've never fished there before I take it?

No I have not, I've never needed to or even wanted to. I'm not a guide and would never want to be part of your so called "staging area".

My intention is not to flame but you are challenging my ranking as the dumbest post ever.

Peace

Gatorgetter , you are flaming something you admit have never experienced. That my friend is ignorance and dumb is bred from it!

Beacon Rock is one of the most beautiful sights you will ever see during a sunrise with a fish on.

There is a lot of water from I-205 to Bonneville dam , it is no fish hatchery.

Peace
