Under the new agreement, anglers can continue to catch summer C hinook and sockeye salmon through July 31 from the Astoria Bridge upriver to Bonneville Dam, where the season was previously scheduled to end Tuesday. In addition, the daily catch limit will change Friday for salmon fisheries on the Columbia River upstream to the Ore- gon/Washington border, 17 miles upriver from McNary Dam. The new catch limit holds anglers to one adult C hinook salmon per day — whether or not it is marked as a hatchery fish — as part of their over- all catch. Since mid-June, anglers have been allowed to catch two adult C hinook a day, but were required to release those not marked as a hatchery fish by a miss- ing adipose fin. Ron Roler, Columbia River Policy Coordinator for the Washington De- partment of Fish and Wildlife , said the new catch limit is designed to reduce the number of C hinook salmon that are hooked and released during unusually warm water conditions. “Water temperatures in the Colum- bia River have risen above 70 degrees, which can affect survival rates for re- leased fish,” Roler said. “With the pros- pect of more hot days to come, we want anglers to keep the first C hinook they catch and move on to the other fishing opportunities available in the river.” Despite warm water conditions, returns of both summer C hinook and sockeye salmon are currently the second-highest on record, said Roler, noting that summer steelhead are also beginning to move into the lower river in large numbers. In all, the new catch limit will allow anglers to take a total of six salmon or steelhead per day, including two adult salmon, two adult hatchery steelhead, or one of each — but only one adult C hi- nook salmon. As before, anglers must re- lease any unmarked steelhead they catch, and sockeye will be counted as part of the adult daily limit. Chinook jacks also remain part of the overall daily bag limit, but anglers can retain both marked and unmarked fish. “We still have plenty of salmon and hatchery steelhead available for har- vest,” Roler said. “Our goal is to reduce stress on summer C hinook moving up the river in these current water conditions.” OBITUARIES Louise Helen (Franciscovich) ‘Franky’ Cote Newport Beach, Calif.
