Four local waters will be closed to fishing from Monday through Thursday, then reopen on Black Friday.
The four include Klineline Pond and Battle Ground Lake in Clark County, Kress Lake in Cowlitz County and Rowland Lake in Klickitat County.
Each lake will be stocked with 2,000 rainbow trout averaging 15 to 16 inches.
Several angling rules change on Dec. 1.
Adult coho salmon returns to Cowlitz Salmon Hatchery number more than 79,000, the highest since at least 1969. The previous record through early to mid-November was 68,000 in 2009.
Swift Reservoir will be closed plus the catch-and-release season on the Wind River upstream of Shipherd Falls closes.
The Toutle from the mouth to the forks closes along with the North Fork of the Toutle and Green rivers for hatchery steelhead and salmon.

The Grays River from the Highway 4 Bridge to the South Fork Grays plus the West Fork Grays from the mouth to 300 yards below the hatchery road bridge open on Dec. 1 for hatchery steelhead, hatchery coho and chinook with a clipped adipose or ventral fin.
Two winter steelhead returned last week to Cowlitz Salmon Hatchery.
