This rule project was initiated as a rule petition accepted by the WDFW director by letter on August 26, 2026. The proposed amendments allow two-pole fishing for all game fish in the Washington portions of the Snake and Columbia rivers. Specifically, this rule project will allow anglers targeting walleye, bass, channel catfish, northern pikeminnow, and hatchery steelhead (Snake River only) to more efficiently harvest those species. In addition, these proposed amendments will create consistency in interstate regulations between Idaho and Washington for their shared portions of the Snake River as well as the Washington portions of the Columbia River. The proposed amendments do not change any existing harvest rules (i.e., seasons, minimum size, or daily limits).
