I know alot of folks are awaiting this. (for those that enjoy this fishery)

An official News Release "Emergency Rule" will be announced today.

The jist of it will be this:

Puyallup River opens above Freeman Road opening for fishing Aug. 1,
and below Freeman Road opening Aug. 16.
The river will be closed Aug. 11 when a tribal chinook fishery is scheduled.

In September there will be added closures when the tribes will be fishing two to three days per week for a total of 14 days the river be off limits to sport anglers.

The Lower Puyallup will also have closures in early October, but the upper river will have no closures.

(I will update the actual dates when the News Release is announced)

Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.

Tribes and state have reached a fishing proposal for Puyallup River, and should be announced Tuesday

 by Mark Yuasa

The Puyallup River situation seems to have been resolved on the fishing seasons as state Fish and Wildlife and the tribes will send out a joint news release by Tuesday, July 23.

“I am cautiously optimistic after our meeting (Thursday, July 18), and they seemed to have accepted our proposal,” said Pat Pattillo, the head state Fish and Wildlife salmon policy coordinator. “It has been some tough discussions with our (tribal) co-managers, but we’ve had good discussions with the Puyallup Tribe.”

The three issues are public safety for both tribal and sport fishermen, where fishing happens adjacent to or around to reservation land and conservation issues.

The proposal has the Puyallup River above Freeman Road opening for fishing Aug. 1, and below Freeman Road opening Aug. 16. The river will be closed Aug. 11 when a tribal chinook fishery is scheduled.

In September there will be added closures when the tribes will be fishing two to three days per week for a total of 14 days the river be off limits to sport anglers.

The Lower Puyallup will also have closures in early October, but the upper river will have no closures.

“We proposing to have an enforcmenet program jointly (between state and tribes) to monitor together whether or not these conflcist are occurring and provide an enforcement’s view,” Pattillo said.

The situation on the Skokomish River is different, and the state hopes to find some kind of resolve by later this week. If all goes smoothly then the sport fishery could be like last year where there was 25 days of fishing and opening Aug. 1 as opposed to last year when it opened on Aug. 10.

“The meetings are on going on the Skokomish situation,” Pattillo said.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

How is this proposal compared to last years season? About the same?

its not as bad as the rumored "completely  closed" season, and its similar to how its been for the past few years. tribes have had just tribe days in the past, although I think the 14 days in september are in addition to that. in the past I believe the rivers were closed like Sunday-Tuesday or something like that for sport fisherman, so even with the closure, at least it was open during the days we're more likely to fish.. thurs-sat, etc. (well, you know)
