Fishery managers from Washington
state and Oregon have extended the sum-
mer salmon fishery on the lower Colum-
bia River by three weeks, and approved
a new daily catch limit for waters above
and below Bonneville Dam.
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.”
