Salmon fishing closes June 14
on Icicle River
Action: Salmon fishing on the Icicle River will close beginning at 12:01 a.m. on June 14 until further notice.
Species affected: Chinook salmon.
Location: Icicle River, from 400 feet upstream of the mouth to 500 feet downstream of the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery rack.
Effective dates: 12:01am June 14, 2006 until further notice.
Reason for action: Most of the spring chinook broodstock trapped to date at the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery were stolen on the night of June 9, 2006. Consequently, additional fish must be trapped to replace those stolen. Because this years run is small, WDFW is closing the sportfishing season to allow the hatchery adequate opportunity to capture the 1,000 fish needed for broodstock. Once this is accomplished the fishery may reopen.
Other Information: The area from the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchey upstream to Leland Creek remains open for game fish as listed in the Sportfishing Rules Pamphlet.
Information contact: Art Viola (509) 665-3337 or the Wenatchee Office (509) 662-0452.
