YES! 4 pinks/4 salmon total. If there is a mixed bag of 4 salmon 2 of which must be pinks.Now I'm confused....From WDFW
"In all areas, anglers will have a daily limit of six salmon (minimum size 12 inches). Anglers may keep up to four adult salmon, of which only two may be any combination of chinook, coho and chum. All wild adult chinook salmon must be released."
Where does the six factor in?
:dunno:

On another note, I didnt see anything about barbless hooks except for the area between the White & Carbon rivers. Nothing in the news release and of course in the regs it has nothing but the TBD on the season.
So barbs are ok downstream of the White?

Regs clearly say that "night closure, anti-snagging rule, and barbless hooks required"

Yes, I saw that, that covers the area between 11th St to Freeman rd from Aug 16th and on, so now (Aug 1st) between Freemon Rd to the White River barbs are ok? I have seen nothing to the contrary. :dunno: :bash:
Barbs are never okay, it's saying that area in general isn't even open until August 16th, and the area of the Pew river that IS open says: "From city of Puyallup outfall structure near junction of Freeman Road and North Levee Road to mouth of the White River: Night closure and anti-snagging rule are in effect and single point barbless hooks are required from August 1 until further notice."

Always use barbless none the less, it just wasnt adding up, thats why I was confused. (which doesnt take much sometimes)

So is everyone limited out on the Puyallup yet?I wont be there until about 3:15, fishing pole in 1 hand and a big stick in the other to create some elbow room. :chuckle: I need me some space :chuckle:
Post by: Becky on August 01, 2013, 11:57:21 AM
Just got off the phone & the recording says single barbless for the area in question. Why wasnt it in the news release :bash: :bash:

You can kill jacks. Only 4 of the 6 can be adults.
And you don't really need to worry about jacks; the Carbon River silvers are genetically programmed to measure exactly 20.5 inches :chuckle:, so the limit is basically 4 fish.

From the mouth of the White River to the Carbon River and both the White and Carbon rivers are not affected by this rule change. Anglers should consult the Fishing in Washington, Sports Fishing Rules pamphlet for additional information.
From White River to Carbon River: ALL SPECIES - Aug. 1-Nov. 30: night closure, anti-snagging rule, and barbless hooks required.
Yeah, all barbless!

Yes... I quoted exactly today's opening, no wonder everyone gets so confused about rules:
Barbs are never okay, it's saying that area in general isn't even open until August 16th, and the area of the Pew river that IS open says: "From city of Puyallup outfall structure near junction of Freeman Road and North Levee Road to mouth of the White River: Night closure and anti-snagging rule are in effect and single point barbless hooks are required from August 1 until further notice."

when I went over the Puyallup River bridge ( on hwy 512) this morning on my way to work at 4:30, I saw no one fishing up or down river from the bridge? :dunno:
Usually that area is crowded

Weird,

4:30am might have had something to do with it.
