2002-2003 Sportfishing Proposals - 11/15/01 01:39 AM

I just finished reading the WDFW 2002-2003 proposed changes. Some good changes( I think) regarding wild steelhead retention to catch and release only. I also noticed the creation of Marine Protection Areas for Puget Sound. Could someone tell me what the wording (closed to all non-Indian fishery) means? Other changes include bag limits on crabs down from six to four in PS. Changes in East Duwamish waterway salmon snaggery.
Way to much to list here.....so for your reading pleasure...

Have you taken a look at the propasal yet? WDFW 2002-2003 Sportfishing Proposal

It means it is closed to sport and non-tribal commercial fishing, but that the closure will not effect/apply to tribal fishers execising treaty fishing rights.
