The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is seeking public input on white sturgeon recreational fisheries in Washington waters. The survey asks about fishing participation and preferences on possible rule changes, including season timing, area closures, limited-entry permits, gear restrictions, and retention or catch-and-release fisheries. Survey responses will help inform potential updates to statewide sturgeon fishing regulations and guide how WDFW balances angling opportunities with conservation and harvest limits. About this survey All responses are anonymous and no personally identifiable information will be shared. The survey should take 10-15 minutes to complete. The survey is voluntary, and you may exit at any time. All members of the public are invited to share their perspectives and participate in WDFW public feedback opportunities regardless of race, color, sex, age, national origin, language proficiency, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, status as a veteran, or basis of disability. Any information you submit to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is subject to public disclosure under Washington's Public Records law, RCW 42.56.
