Chehalis Tribal Codes

WDFW Regulations

10.10.080 Nonmembers

Nonmembers may engage in hook and line sports fishing on the Reservation if they have purchased a nonmember hook and line permit and if they are accompanied by a Tribal member. Because the depletion of fish has a direct adverse effect on the economic security of members of the Chehalis Tribe and their families, the number of nonmember permits may be restricted by the Business Committee or the Fisheries Manager.

10.10.050 Nonmember relatives

A member of the Chehalis Tribe who is eligible to fish under Chapters 10.05 through 10.15 CTC may be assisted by his or her spouse, child, grandchild, or sibling even if that relative is not a member of the Chehalis Tribe. A nonmember relative assisting a Chehalis Tribal member must be accompanied by the Tribal member or have the Tribal member’s fishing permit in his or her possession during any fishing activity. The member must accompany the assisting nonmember relative during an off-Reservation fishing activity.
