October 9, 2007
Action: Open Drano Lake seven days a week.
Effective dates: Immediately through Oct. 31, 2007
Species affected: Salmon and steelhead
Location: Drano Lake (Little White Salmon River) in Skamania County downstream of markers on the point of land downstream and across from Little White Salmon National Fish Hatchery and upstream of the Highway 14 Bridge.
Reasons for action: The Lake was originally closed from 6 p.m. Tuesdays through 6 p.m. Wednesdays during the month of October to avoid conflicts between a tribal commercial fishery and the sport fishery. The Yakama Nation has decided not to conduct the commercial fishery. This action allows the opportunity for additional sport fishing.
Other information: The salmon daily limit will be six fish, but no more than two adults. The salmon minimum size is 12 inches. Release wild coho. Trout is catch and release except up to two hatchery steelhead may be retained. For other gamefish, the statewide minimum size and daily limit apply. A non-buoyant lure restriction is in effect Aug. 1 - Dec. 31.
