3/7/2017 6:02:00 PMHatchery salmon and steelhead are identified by a healed scar where the adipose or ventral fin was removed (see below). Harvest is only allowed in areas and seasons listed on pages 8–12. Queets River hatchery steelhead are identified by a dorsal fin height of less than 2? inches (November 15 to February 28).
