Hoh and South Fork Hoh rivers to re-open to fishing
Action: Re-open the Hoh and South Fork Hoh rivers outside of Olympic National Park waters to fishing.
Fishing regulations are as listed in WDFW's 2017-18 "Sport Fishing Rules" pamphlet.
Effective date: Oct. 21, 2017.
Species affected: All species.
Location: The Hoh and South Fork Hoh rivers outside Olympic National Park.
Reason for action: Recent rainfall has increased flows, allowing salmon to migrate upstream to spawning areas.
Further Information: The Olympic National Park is also re-opening waters in the Hoh River within the Park's boundaries at the mouth of the river. For Park regulations, visit: https://www.nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/fishing.htm
