Under House Bill 1579, WDFW was directed to “adopt rules to liberalize bag limits for bass, walleye, and channel catfish in all anadromous waters of the state in order to reduce the predation risk to salmon smolts.”

WDFW is hosting a public meeting at the Spokane regional office to further explain this bill and gather public input on the proposal.

The language in HB1579was passed in part to implement the Governor’s task force recommendations meant to increase abundance of Chinook salmon, benefiting the endangered Southern Resident Killer Whale population. It would affect lakes, streams, and other waters throughout Washington.
