Fishing to close Dec. 15 on the Carbon River
Action: Closes the Carbon River to fishing.
Effective dates: Dec. 15, 2008, until further notice.
Species affected: All gamefish.
Location: The Carbon River from the mouth to the Highway 162 Bridge.
Reasons for action: The Voight's Creek Hatchery has been unable to secure sufficient eggs from returning hatchery winter steelhead to meet basin production goals. Closure of the fishery is needed to collect sufficient fish to meet egg take needs. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), in support of the Hatchery Scientific Review Group recommendations, intends to use locally adapted broodstock to support the Puyallup River system winter-steelhead hatchery program rather than importing eggs from outside sources.
Other information: When broodstock needs are met (approx. 150 fish), the fishery will revert to seasons as listed in the Sport fishing Rules 2008/2009 pamphlet edition, Fishing in Washington. WDFW will be organizing broodstock collection activities in order to more quickly acquire broodstock.
