bushbear River Nutrients Registered: 08/26/02 Posts: 4709 Loc: Sequim	I did a test application. Took less than a minute to get my authorization number back. WDFW FISHING RULE CHANGE Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, WA 98501-1091 http://wdfw.wa.gov August 14, 2017 Amends Canadian-origin salmon transportation rule Action: Changes method for obtaining clearance number from a Canadian phone line to WDFW website generated. Effective Date: Effective 12:01 a.m., Aug. 16, until further notice. Species affected: Salmon. Location: Washington marine areas. Reason for action: Canadian Customs and Border Security regulations related to requirement for obtaining a customs clearance number have recently changed. This regulation is needed to provide an alternate means for persons seeking to possess and/or land Canadian caught fish in Washington waters or ports of call. Other information: Visit http://wdfw.wa.gov/licensing/canadian_catch.php to obtain a confirmation code. The form requests basic trip and contact information from the party leader that must be submitted prior to leaving Washington with the intent of fishing for salmon in Canada. The party leader will receive an email from WDFW with your confirmation code.
