STATE OF WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES - EXHIBIT F 



Lake Washington: Based upon the 1962 and 

 1963 escapements, the Lake Washington sockeye run Is not 

 expected to be large enough in I967 to justify a fishing 

 season; and therefore, no commercial fishery on this stock 

 Is recommended In I967. It is recommended that two gill 

 net boats be chartered to conduct a test fishery in the 

 area between Ballard and Edmonds.

In Areas 1, 2, and 4, the IPSFC regulation 

 proposals call for 4 days per week fishing from August 13 

 through September 30. Control will be relinquished on 

 September 16 in Area 2 and on October 1 in Areas 1 and 4. 



The IPSFC expects the 1967 Fraser River 

 pink salmon run, by Itself, to be better than any year 

 since 1957, and possibly since 1955. The convention area 

 catch is expected to be 5 to 7 million fish total, or 2^ 

 to 3^ million pink salmon for the fishermen of each country. 



The pink run to the Nooksack River is not 

 expected to be large enough in 1967 to allow a harvest 

 and the area should remain closed to salmon fishing with 

 pink salmon nets. The I965 escapements amounted to only 

 12,500 pink salmon. 



The Skagit River pink run is expected to be 

 near the poor I965 run, and it is proposed that the pink
