New Inland waters Salmon/Steelhead regs 2013-14

For those of you who are getting ready for this years inland salmon run and haven't read the new regs make sure you note the changes for determining species for salmon and steelhead in inland water. This means no more filleting on the banks prior to taking the fish home. Its time to bring a bigger cooler especially those who are coming from out of town.

Chapter 1. General Provisions and Definitions
1.45. FILLETING OF SALMONIDS IN INLAND WATERS.
Except as otherwise required, all salmon and steelhead taken in inland waters where a sport fishing license is required, must be kept in such a condition that species and size can be determined until placed at the anglers permanent residence, a commercial preservation facility or being prepared for immediate consumption. Also when required, the presence or absence of a healed adipose fin scar must be able to be determined until placed at the anglers permanent residence, a commercial preservation facility, or being prepared for immediate consumption.
Personal residence means one’s principal or ordinary home or dwelling place, as distinguished from one’s temporary or transient place of residence or dwelling such as a cabin, tent, trailer house, recreational vehicle, or any hotel, motel or rooming house used during a fishing, pleasure or business trip.
