AREA SPORTS BRIEFS: Upper Hoh closed to fishing and more
Published 4:30 pm Monday, March 16, 2026
PORT ANGELES — To align with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife fishing season and to protect wild steelhead spawning grounds, Olympic National Park closed the upper sections of the Hoh River to recreational fishing Monday. The recreational fishing season will reopen on June 1.
The Hoh River is an important spawning ground area with high densities of wild fish. Protecting the area during the peak spawning period offers important refuge for adult fish, ensuring they can successfully reproduce and sustain their populations for years to come.
Olympic National Park coordinates fishing regulations and seasons with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to ensure consistency across jurisdictions.

The course is designed to get students started on whatever archery path they choose, from just a hobby all the way to serious competition.
