Puyallup and Carbon rivers to close for salmon fishing
Action: Closes Puyallup and Carbon rivers for salmon fishing.
Effective dates:
Puyallup River - Oct. 4 through Oct. 31, 2010.
Carbon River - Oct. 4 through Nov. 30, 2010.
Species affected: Salmon.
Location:
Puyallup River from mouth (11th Street Bridge) upstream to the mouth of the Carbon River.
Carbon River from mouth upstream to the mouth of Voights Creek.
Reason for action: The coho run is low and the hatchery has not collected enough fish to meet egg-take goals.
Other information: The rivers will re-open for salmon fishing if egg-take needs are met. Fishing for gamefish remains open as described in the 2010/2011 Sportfishing Rules Pamphlet.
Information contacts: Mike Scharpf, district biologist, 360-902-2710.
