Action: Increases the adult salmon daily limit to three fish.

Locations and effective dates:

  • from the mouth to Fisher Hill Bridge – Nov. 17 through Jan. 31, 2023
  • from 400 feet above #5 Fishway to boundary markers below Klickitat Salmon hatchery – Nov. 17 through Nov. 30, 2022

Species affected: Salmon.

Rule: The salmon daily limit is 6 fish; min. size 12", up to 3 adults may be retained.

Reason for action: The current return of Coho salmon to the Klickitat River has exceeded preseason expectations and additional fish are available for harvest.

Additional information: Anglers are reminded that the 'Closed Waters' area between Fisher Hill Bridge and 400 feet above #5 Fishway remains in effect. All other permanent rules published in the 2022-23 Washington Sport Fishing Rules pamphlet remain in effect.
