Park closes upper, South Fork Hoh
Because of concerns for population health of Hoh River chinook salmon, Olympic National Park officials are closing the upper Hoh River, South Fork Hoh River and all tributaries to recreational fishing through Oct. 15.
This emergency closure is designed to maximize the protection of spawning chinook salmon, park officials said. The Hoh spring/summer chinook population has failed to meet the minimum escapement goal in six of the past seven years and remains at low levels of abundance.
