Bank anglers planning to fish at Bouy 10 should be aware that access to much of the North Jetty will be closed,  due to a major project being conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to reinforce beaches eroded by winter storms. “The North Jetty provides the only real bank access to that fishery. So things could get a little crowded,” Hymer said.

Black bear season started Aug 1st in Washington state.
