Fishing closed on Snoqualmie River
STAFF REPORT | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 5 months, 1 week AGO
OLYMPIA — Fishing will close Friday on the Snoqualmie River from its mouth near Monroe to Snoqualmie Falls, according to an announcement from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The closure includes all species and will remain in effect until further notice, the WDFW wrote.
The reason for the closure is that Snohomish basin Chinook salmon are nearing the end of their spawning run but still risk incidental sport fishery encounters in the Snoqualmie River, according to the announcement. This closure is expected to be lifted once Chinook have cleared spawning grounds in the river.
Anglers are encouraged to sign up for Fishing Rule Change email notifications and to check for emergency rules on the WDFW website prior to fishing.
More information is available by calling 360-902-2700.
