Beginning at 12:01 a.m. Friday, August 14th sport fishing for king salmon will be closed in the saltwater area within a 200-yard radius of the Wayside Park Fishing Dock (see attached map). King salmon may not be targeted, retained or possessed; king salmon caught while fishing for other species may not be removed from the water and must be released immediately. King salmon returning to DIPAC Hatchery are not expected to meet broodstock goals in 2015 due to anticipated harvest and marine survival. With additional harvest anticipated this closure is necessary to provide sufficient numbers of king salmon to meet broodstock needs.
