Isn't the limit 2 per person?
Cook Creek (Grays Harbor Co.) from Quinault Indian Nation Reservation boundary upstream (408)
TROUT First Sat. in June-Oct. 31 Min. size 14". Daily limit 2. Selective gear rules. No min. size for adipose fin clipped TROUT.
Other Game Fish First Sat. in June-Oct. 31 Statewide min. size/daily limit. Selective gear rules.
I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker
