The Skokomish Park boat launch site in Hoodsport will be closed Aug. 5 and 6 to accommodate work on Tacoma Power’s new sockeye hatchery. The launch site is owned and operated by the Skokomish Tribe. According to Ryan Lothrop, WDFW Puget Sound recreational salmon fishery manager, the ramp will be closed for trenching work near the entrance to the boat ramp. Alternate boat launches in the Hood Canal region include Union Boat Launch, Twanoh State Park, Triton Cove and Mike’s Beach Resort.
