Species affected: All species.

Location: Skagit River (Skagit County) from Highway 9 Bridge in Sedro Woolley to the mouth of the Baker River.

Reason for action: This area of the Skagit River will close to all fishing to avoid gear conflicts during scheduled treaty fisheries.

Additional information: Anglers are asked to respect tribal fishers and reminded to not interfere with tribal fisheries.

Future closures in this area to prevent conflicts during scheduled tribal fisheries are tentatively planned for Sunday Sept. 29 through Wednesday Oct. 2. Regulations for this fishery will be announced closer to the scheduled starting date. Conflicts that arise during ongoing fisheries could lead to additional time and area closures.
