The Hoh, South Fork Hoh, Bogachiel, Dickey, and Quillayute river systems within Olympic National Park have been closed to fishing.
The closure started March 1 and will continue through the end of May. Park officials said the move was in response to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s report that wild steelhead runs are returning in numbers much lower than anticipated.
Officials said a complete closure of recreational fisheries was warranted due to their declining trends and to eliminate the hooking of wild steelhead.
Fishing in many rivers, streams, and Lake Crescent within the park is expected to reopen on June 1.
