Colville River Fishing
The North Slope of the Brooks Range subarea includes all waters north of the Brooks Range flowing into the Beaufort and Chukchi seas from Point Hope on the west to the Canadian border on the east including adjacent saltwater areas. Major drainages in this area include the Colville, Sagavanirktok, Canning, and Kuparuk rivers. These drainages provide rearing, spawning and winter habitat for diadromous Beaufort Sea Dolly Varden. The state's third largest lake, Teshekpuk Lake, is found here on the coastal plan, as are hundreds of smaller lakes. Most of these lakes are inaccessible by road and too shallow to support fish populations, but there are dozens of lakes that contain lake trout, Arctic char, Arctic grayling, and burbot. These populations are generally slow-growing and can support only minimal harvests.
Colville Tribe Fishing License
Colville Fishing Permit
Anyone fishing from waters adjacent to or from the reservation shoreline should contact the tribes to determine whether an additional license is required. The Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation can be reached at (509) 634-2110. The Spokane Tribe of Indians can be reached at (509) 625-3511. Access to the shoreline near the net pens is allowed through the cooperation of the Tims Ranch, Columbia River Fish Farms and the Colville Indian Reservation. It is important to note that fishing in this location, in fact the entire west shore of Rufus Woods requires a Colville Tribal permit. All non-members fishing by boat on the boundary waters of the Colville Indian Reservation or from the shore of Lake Rufus Woods at a Designated Fishing Area must have either a valid Colville Indian Reservation Fishing Permit, or a valid fishing license issued by the state of Washington, a tribal press release states.
