Catch-and-release rules for salmon and steelhead: The proposal would make it illegal in freshwater areas — except in the Buoy 10 area on the Columbia River — to remove salmon or steelhead from the water, if anglers are required to release the fish. The proposal is aimed at reducing handling stress on released fish.
Salmon release in Marine Areas 5-13: The proposal would make it illegal to bring on board a vessel any salmon that is required to be released in Marine Areas 5-13.
