Sport Fishing Reopens At Three Rivers In Olympic National Park

Share
By NPT Staff - October 23rd, 2017

Less than a week after closing three rivers to recreational fishing, heavy rains prompted Olympic National Park to lift the restriction on Saturday.

Rain over two days late last week drastically increased flows of the Hoh, Quillayute, and Dickey rivers, allowing for unimpeded upstream migration of salmon and the re-opening of sport fishing.

The closure on October 16 was designed to maximize protection of salmon in the lower portions of each river due to concerns about low river flows impeding salmon migration.

The Hoh River was at historically low flows during the closure, and the Hoh Tribe closed its treaty fishery during this low flow period. The Quileute Tribe and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife also closed treaty and sport fisheries in the Quillayute and Dickey rivers.
