Washington Holds a Virtual Town Hall on Next Year's Coastal Steelhead Seasons
Washington Fish and Wildlife will hold a virtual town hall on Tuesday, November 10, from 6 to 8 p.m., to discuss planning for the 2026-27 coastal steelhead seasons, the department said November 2. Managers will present last season's escapement figures, preliminary forecasts and proposed regulations, with time for questions and public comment. The meeting is on Zoom and requires pre-registration through the department's website. 'We're focused on balancing wild steelhead conservation with providing meaningful fishing opportunities for hatchery steelhead,' said Chad Herring, the department's Coastal Region fish program manager.
