OLYMPIA, WA[font "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"][size 2]—[/size][/font]The Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission approved more than 80 changes to the state's sportfishing rules during its meeting Feb. 10-11, but retained a regulation that requires anglers to release any trout they catch on the Cedar River in King County. In a separate action, the nine-member commission adopted a policy for the Columbia River summer chinook fishery that allocates the state's share of the harvest equally between recreational and commercial fishermen below Priest Rapids Dam.
