Conservation leads to open
season on hatchery species
Anglers will have an opportu-
nity to take advantage of an abun-
dant return of pink salmon this
year.
About 3.3 million pink salmon
are expected to come back to Puget
Sound streams, nearly 1.3 million
more fish than forecast in 2005.
The smallest of the Pacific salm-
on species, pink salmon return to
Washington's waters only in odd-
numbered years.
That's according to state and
tribal managers of the fisheries re-
sources. However, with lower chi-
nook and coho salmon returns ex-
pected back to numerous rivers in
Washington, they have agreed on
a conservation-based fishing pack-
age that focuses fisheries on abun-
dant hatchery fish and healthy
salmon runs.
The Hoodsport Hatchery Zone
will be open July 1 through De-
cember 31 with a four-fish daily
limit and no minimum size. How-
ever, only two of the four may be
chinook 24 inches or longer. The
area is closed to night fishing,
and chum must be released July 1
through October 15.
Hood Canal is closed to salmon
fishing through June 30 and open
October 16 through December 31
with a four-fish daily limit, only
one of which may be a chinook.
Minimum size for chinook is 22
inches.
Salmon populations listed for
protection under the federal En-
dangered Species Act will con-
tinue to restrict fisheries in Puget
Sound, said Jeff Koenings, direc-
tor of the Washington Department
of Fish and Wildlife.
"We must recover and protect
wild salmon populations that are
in need of help, and this year's
package of recreational and com-
mercial fisheries continues to move
us toward that goal," Koenings
said. "Fisheries must be focused
on hatchery salmon, allowing
more wild fish onto the spawning
grounds, where habitat improve-
ments are currently under way."
MOST NATURAL salmon pro-
duction has been lost to damaged
and vanishing habitat, said Billy
Frank Jr., chairman of the North-
west Indian Fisheries Commis-
sion. "This requires the co-man-
agers to be increasingly precise
in our management," he said. "We
just don't have any room for error.
The salmon is too important. If we
err, it must be on the side of con-
servation."
Treaty tribal fisheries will again
be limited this year to meet recov-
ery goals for wild salmon, Frank
said.
This year's recreational fishing
package includes carefully con-
strained fisheries that not only
meet the necessary conservation
age is the fundamental foundation
for a new approach to the future
of sport fishing in Washington, he
added.
Anglers this year in Puget
Sound can participate in seven
new recreational mark-selective
chinook fisheries, tbur during the
summer and three in the winter.
These will require fishers to safely
release any wild fish they inter-
cept while targeting and keeping
fin-clipped hatchery salmon. The
co-managers agreed to a compre-
hensive in-season monitoring and
enforcement plan to ensure the
fisheries are meeting their intend-
ed management and conservation
goals.
