Dennis- I E-mailed the WDFW a few weeks back asking about the very same
thing you just mentioned in your weekly fishing report. I have included
my
E-mail and their response. I also have a copy of this that I carry along
with my rod and fly box while fishing the Stilly. This is inyeresting!!!
Had a good time yesterday with Mike- what a great kid. You're a lucky
man to
have such a fine son. Thanks for everything.

Great opener vs Snohomish!!
Thank you for your email correspondence to the Washington Department of
Fish
and
Wildlife (WDFW) Fish Program.
If
you are going fishing in an area of the Stillaguamish River that has a
Selective Gear Rule, and also has a rule to release Chinook and Pink Salmon
it
really doesn't matter what color your fly or lure is, as long as it doesn't
have
any bait or scent on it, and it is equipped with a single barbless hook,
so
when
that Salmon fishery opens on September 1st anglers may keep Coho and Chum
Salmon, but they must release Chinook and Pink Salmon if they hook one.
Please
make sure you check for emergency rule changes before you harvest as
follows:
