West Coast Salmon Success: Rules Relax for Fishers
Published Date: 3/28/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
Good news for West Coast salmon fishers! The government is updating rules because two types of coho salmon—Queets River and Strait of Juan de Fuca—have bounced back and don’t need special rebuilding plans anymore. This means fishing rules will change soon, helping fishers plan ahead without extra restrictions.

Rebuilding Rules Removed for Two Coho Stocks
If you fish West Coast salmon, the agency proposes to remove the rebuilding plans for Queets River natural coho salmon and Strait of Juan de Fuca natural coho salmon because those stocks have been rebuilt. This means these two stocks would no longer be required to be managed under a rebuilding plan, which the agency says will help fishers plan ahead without extra rebuilding restrictions.
