Fish Northwest Promoting fishing opportunity and conservation on behalf of Puget Sound recreational anglers Fish Northwest Promoting fishing opportunity and conservation on behalf of Puget Sound recreational anglers Our Mission The restoration of equity and opportunity Fish Northwest is committed to the conservation and preservation of Puget Sound salmon stocks while restoring and expanding fishing opportunities for Washingtons anglers their families and businesses. This can only be achieved if we stop the overharvest of wild fish and use selective fishing methods to harvest hatchery fish. We believe that the future of recreational fishing opportunities depends on the conservation and recovery of wild salmon along with the sciencebased production and harvest of hatchery fish. We believe that by using the best available science our wild salmon runs can be conserved and rebuilt while an abundant hatchery fish population can provide ample fishing opportunities for the public.
