Action: Reopen the Stillaguamish River downstream of Marine Drive.
Effective date: June 1, 2010.
Species affected: All game fish species.
Additional information: Other sections of the Stillaguamish River previously closed by emergency rule will reopen as listed in the 2010/2011 Fishing In Washington Rules Pamphlet.
Reason for action: The previous closure, which was designed to protect wild winter steelhead, is no longer necessary because most of those fish have spawned and moved out of the watershed.
Information contacts: Jennifer Whitney, District 13 fish biologist, (425) 775-1311; Annette Hoffmann, Region 4 Fish Program manager, (425) 775-1311.
