Beginning at midnight Saturday, Washington Snake River steelhead anglers will no longer be allowed to catch steelhead below the Couse Creek boat ramp, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife announced. But anglers are allowed to catch and release steelhead upstream of the boat ramp.

The daily catch and keep limit above the boat ramp is one hatchery steelhead.

In addition, Washington’s Snake River fall chinook fishery will change to guard against the incidental catch of steelhead.

The chinook fishery from Clarkston to the Couse Creek boat ramp will close Oct. 13, but the section above the ramp will remain open until Oct. 31. A “bubble area” around the Lyons Ferry hatchery will also remain open through Oct. 31.
