This is what the F&W said as of November 28th, 2001:

Quote:
Action: The Snohomish River system (Pilchuck River, Raging River, Skykomish River, North Fork Skykomish River, South Fork Skykomish River, Snohomish River, Snoqualmie River, Sultan River, Tokul Creek, Tolt River, and Wallace River) will go to wild steelhead release December 1, 2001. All areas will be closed to the retention of wild steelhead for the entire winter season. Only hatchery steelhead may be retained. Hatchery steelhead are identified by a missing adipose or ventral fin and a healed scar in the location of the missing fin.

Location: Pilchuck River from its mouth to 500 feet downstream of the Snohomish City Diversion Dam; Raging River from its mouth to Highway 18 bridge; Skykomish River from its mouth to Forks; North Fork Skykomish River from its mouth to 1,000 feet downstream of Bear Creek Falls; South Fork Skykomish River from its mouth to 600 feet downstream of Sunset Falls; Snohomish River from its mouth (Burlington Northern Railroad Bridges near Highway 529) to confluence of Snoqualmie and Skykomish Rivers; Snoqualmie River from its mouth to Snoqualmie Falls; Sultan River from its mouth to 400 feet downstream of Diversion Dam (river mile 9.7); Tokul Creek from its mouth to posted cable marker (approximately 700 feet upstream of its mouth; Tolt River from its mouth to USGS trolley cable near the confluence of North and South Forks, and Wallace River from its mouth to Olney Creek.
Here is what they say as of Febuary 20th, 2002:

Quote:

Action: The majority of the Snohomish River system, including the Skykomish, Snohomish, and Snoqualmie rivers, will close to all fishing beginning March 1, 2002. This includes the March and April catch and release season on the Skykomish. Tokul Creek, a tributary of the Snoqualmie River, is closed to all fishing March 1, 2002, through November 30, 2002.

An exception to the closure is the Snohomish River downstream of U.S. Highway 2, which will remain open through March 31, 2002. This area is closed to steelhead fishing, but open to fishing for other species.

Location: Skykomish River from its mouth to the forks; Snohomish River from its mouth (Burlington Northern Railroad Bridges near State Route 529) upstream to the confluence of Snoqualmie and Skykomish rivers; Snoqualmie River from its mouth to Snoqualmie Falls; and Tokul Creek from its mouth to the posted cable marker, approximately 700 feet upstream of its mouth.
My question is are the Pilchuck River, Raging River, Sultan River, Tolt River, and Wallace River all going to close as mentioned in November because they didnt mention these in the Febuary post.

This is so confusing.

Heres the site if you want to see it your self.

Thanks
Tyler

Tyler-
Remember that Pilchuck, Raging, Sultan,Tolt, and Wallace all would normally close at the end of February so aren't effected by the March emergency regulation change.

Tight lines
