Actions: Remove fishing restrictions on American River, Swauk Creek, Williams Creek and all other Swauk Creek tributaries
Effective date: Immediately
Species affected: All gamefish (trout, whitefish, etc.)
Locations:
American River from: from the mouth to Hwy. 410 Bridge downstream of the USFS Hell’s Crossing Campground (river mile 5.4), and upstream of the Mesatchee Creek Trail crossing at river mile 15.8
Swauk Creek and all tributaries, including Williams Creek
Reason for action: Cooler weather and recent precipitation in the Cascades have reduced water temperatures. Environmental conditions now support removing hoot-owl restrictions.

Ahtanum Creek, including North and Middle Forks
Little Naches River
Teanaway River, including West, Middle and North Forks
Information contacts: Eric Anderson, District 8 Fish Biologist, (509) 457-9301 (Yakima) or John Easterbrooks, Regional Fish Program Manager, (509) 457-9330.
