Shore Fishery Leases
As manager of most of the state's
tidelands out to the three-mile limit, the Department of Natural
Resources issues shore fishery
(setnet) leases. A shore fishery lease gives the leaseholder first
priority to use a shore fishery site for commercial salmon setnet
fishing on
state-owned tidelands. This "first priority" applies only when the
leaseholder is personally fishing the site.
To apply for a shore fishery lease you must:
- have a valid limited entry permit or an interim-use salmon setnet permit.
- be citizen of the United States.
- be at least 18 years of age, or if under 18 years of age have a trustee appointed.
- stake your site within thirty days of filing your application.
- file an application between June 1 and October 15, along with a non-refundable filing fee of $100.00.
