Welcome to 2022-23 Washington Fishing

New for 2022-2023
- Bull trout, Dolly Varden, Eastern brook trout, and lake trout are defined as char.
- Unless otherwise listed in the special rules, there is no minimum size or daily limit for the retention of lake trout.
- If retaining nonspot shrimp, all shrimp heads (spot and nonspot) must be retained in the field until ashore and finished fishing for the day.
- Each smelt harvester must use a separate container to hold their catch and the container must be in the harvester's presence or identified with the harvester's name.
