Lingcod fishing to close Sept. 3
seaward of 124°30 in Marine Area 2

Action: It is unlawful to fish for, retain, or possess lingcod seaward of 124°30 W. longitude from the Queets River (46°32.31' N. lat.) to Leadbetter Point (46°38.17' N.lat) in Marine Area 2.

Effective date: Sept. 3, 2011.

Species affected: Lingcod.

Location:   Marine Area 2. 

Reason for action:   This rule is intended to protect yelloweye and canary rockfish, two species managed under rebuilding plans by the Pacific Fishery Management Council.  The closure will reduce the amount of yelloweye and canary rockfish that are incidentally caught while anglers are targeting lingcod in deeper water where they are more likely to encounter these species. 

Information contact: Heather Reed, (360) 249-4628 ext. 202.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
