Stillaguamish River salmon season returns to permanent rules

October 1, 2024

Action: Returns Stillaguamish River to permanent rules as listed in the 2024-2025 Washington Sport Fishing Rules.

Effective date: Immediately, until further notice.

Species affected: Coho salmon.

Location: Stillaguamish River (Snohomish County) from Marine Drive (south of Stanwood) upstream to forks.

Reason for action: A reduction to the daily limit is no longer necessary. In-season indicators now show the number of coho returning to the river is sufficient to return to permanent rules without risking meeting conservation objectives for Stillaguamish coho.

Information contact: Region 4 (Mill Creek Office), 425-775-1311.
