Quillayute River system closes to fishing Monday
PORT ANGELES — The Quillayute River and its tributaries, the Sol Duc, Dickey, Bogachiel and Calawah rivers, will close to all fishing beginning Monday and continuing through Nov. 22.
This closure includes all fish species and recreational and tribal fisheries.
Early season abundance indicators confirm the returning Quillayute River wild coho run is below harvestable levels, according to the state Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The state said this conservation measure is necessary to allow more fish to reach the spawning grounds in order to meet wild escapement goals.
The Quileute Tribe, Olympic National Park and WDFW have agreed to close their respective fisheries to protect wild coho.
The rivers will re-open to fishing on Nov. 23 when coho have cleared the fishing area.
