Action: Returns Marine Area 13 to permanent rules.
Effective date: Jan. 1, 2020.
Species affected: Salmon.
Locations: Marine Area 13.
Reason for action: The closures in Marine Area 13 are no longer needed as a majority of returning chum have entered streams to spawn. Chum encounters with anglers in saltwater are expected to be extremely low, if any.
Additional information: Please see the 2019-20 Washington Sport Fishing Rules pamphlet for additional rules or visit the WDFW website at https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulations.
