WDFW will implement depth restrictions. You can't fish deeper that the depth they set. It also happens for some types of shrimp, bottomfish and probably some other things.

When depth restrictions are in place, they will specify the depth. Here is an example:
Quote
Marine Area 7 East: Reopens for recreational coonstripe and pink shrimp fishing (only) with a 200-foot maximum fishing depth restriction. Open daily. All spot shrimp caught must be returned to the water immediately.

Have you looked at the Columbia River rules yet? Those are a great read.

Fishing in Washington, if you do fresh, salt and shellfish, it can really be gripping. You'll spend your whole year just engrossed in fishing... half of which is just to understand the regulations of where you'll be fishing, then the other half fishing so much just based on the seeming need to make all of that work in understanding the rules to feel like they were worth the time.

You forgot the part about trying to figure out if you have all the licenses and endorsements needed to partake in the particular activity you are relatively certain happens to be open using the methods that hopefully are within the limits of the law.
It is worth it though, incredible fishing opportunities in this state even with the huge problems that are out there.

Oh, yes, I certainly forgot, because you need to make sure there aren't biotoxins in the shellfish at any given beach on any given day (though I'm not going to complain about this one, I like that there is a map). Razor clam days. Hahahaha. I mean, it's a full time job just to recreate.
