(Clark Co.)

Action: Fishing closure from 200 feet below and 200 feet above the trap located below Kline Line Park on Salmon Creek.

Effective dates: Nov. 22, 2008 through March 15, 2009

Species affected: All game fish, salmon

Location: From 200 feet below and 200 feet above the trap on Salmon Creek is closed to fishing.

Reasons for action: This rule change is in effect to close the waters above and below the adult fish trap to keep anglers a safe distance from the operating trap.

Other information: Research on Salmon Creek began in the fall of 2008 and will continue through the winter to determine fish passage through the newly constructed roughened channel under the highway 99 bridge. The trap allows for the safe passage of floating objects such as boats. However, the area directly around the trap is CLOSED and posted with NO TRESPASSING signs for the safety of anglers and the general public.
