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.
Information contact: Fish Program: Ryan Lothrop, (360) 902-2808; Enforcement Program: Dan Chadwick, 360-249-4628, ex 1253.
 
Fishers must have a current Washington fishing license, appropriate to the fishery. Check the WDFW "Fishing in Washington" rules pamphlet for details on fishing seasons and regulations. Fishing rules are subject to change. Check the WDFW Fishing hotline for the latest rule information at (360) 902-2500, press 2 for recreational rules. For the Shellfish Rule Change hotline call (360)796-3215 or toll free 1-866-880-5431.
Persons with disabilities who need to receive this information in an alternative format or who need reasonable accommodations to participate in WDFW-sponsored public meetings or other activities may contact Dolores Noyes by phone (360-902-2349), TTY (360-902-2207), or email (dolores.noyes@dfw.wa.gov).

Washington seems to be making it harder to fish in Canadian waters.  I think WA would have a hard time enforcing this rule, as far as I'm concerned it's non of their business where and when I decide to fish in Canada.   
My family as been talking hard about buying a Canadian license next year with how crappy the last 2 salmon seasons have been.

They are doing this because Canada eased the rules and some local small resorts are encouraging people to stay with them and fish Canada through Sept. Since WDFW took away most of our Sept seasons they feel they need to control it some other way.

So they are telling us that in order to fish in Canada you must purchase a Wash. fishing licence. WOW, how long before they make us buy a wash. hunting licence before hunting in Oregon or Idaho- Montana. That just seems wrong.

I also read that you cannot fish the same day in WA after you fish in Canada.
