Guide Logbook Rule Making

View the CR-102 Continuance Rule Proposal and WAC text

This revision to the fishing guide logbook rule will improve enforceability and compliance of the rule. The revision will require trip location and date information at the beginning of the trip, will remove the web reporting tool and reference to vessel so it’s clear that all guided fishing trips, whether on foot or on a vessel must be reported and will increase frequency of report submissions via the paper logbook to twice a month. This proposal will close enforcement loopholes allowing officers to make contacts at any point in the guided trip, not just at the end of the day at the boat launch.
