Carbon River re-opens for angling
Action: Effective immediately, the Carbon River will re-open to angling, reverting back to seasons listed in the 2008-09 Sport Fishing Rules pamphlet. This action will allow retention of surplus hatchery steelhead on the river.
Effective dates: Immediately
Species affected: All gamefish.
Location: Carbon River, tributary to the Puyallup River, in Pierce County.
Reasons for action: Re-opening the fishery will allow anglers to selectively harvest hatchery steelhead, thereby reducing the genetic and ecological competition between hatchery and wild fish.
