Steelhead town hall
OLYMPIA — The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife will host its second virtual town hall meeting on the 2024-2025 coastal steelhead season at 6 p.m. Wednesday.
WDFW staff will share agreed-to fishery plans with the public during the meeting. In late November, the WDFW will finalize those plans with tribal co-managers and then announce the 2024-2025 season and regulations.
“We recognize the importance of coastal steelhead for recreational anglers, tribal co-managers, river ecosystems, and local communities and economies,” said WDFW Fish Program Director Kelly Cunningham. “We appreciate the public’s involvement in our coastal steelhead management process, and we look forward to sharing plans that balance conservation with providing fishing opportunity.”
Members of the public can participate in the meeting through Zoom, either online or by phone. People can register for the meeting at https://tinyurl.com/Steelheadmeeting.
Meeting materials and information on fishery management, including past town halls, are available on WDFW’s coastal steelhead management webpage at https://tinyurl.com/Steelheadmanagement.
All members of the public are invited to participate.
