‘This is National Park Week. What’s your favorite park, national or otherwise?’
“Silver Falls State
Park. There’s a hik-
ing trail to the falls,
and it’s a short trip.
It’s not hard.”
“Grand Canyon. It’s
spectacular — all
the colors. It left
me breathless for a
long time. I walked
down, and found sea
shells stuck in the wall.
It makes you believe in God.”
“I like all of them,
but Fort Clatsop. It’s
here, and it’s easy to
get to.”

with below-average forecasts
for runs of returning salmon

An estimated 375,500 fall

year’s 476,100. Oregon and
Washington state fishery man-
agers have decided to manage
for a harvest rate of just over 8
percent, down from the 15 per-
cent harvest rate established in
recent years.

“Oregonians have cho-
sen, time and time again, to
invest in voluntary conser-
vation projects like these
because they know that vol-

FIVE-DAY FORECAST FOR ASTORIA
TONIGHT
During the summer sport
fishing season, which begins
on the Lower Columbia
River from the Astoria Bridge
upstream to Bonneville Dam
on June 22, the daily adult bag
limit is two hatchery salmon.
These can include up to two
Chinook salmon when reten-
tion is allowed.
From June 16 through July
31, anglers will be able to
retain hatchery Chinook jacks
and hatchery steelhead. The
daily adult bag limit is two
hatchery salmon.
Sockeye retention is pro-
hibited this year.
Oregon and Washington
state jointly manage fisheries
on the Columbia River.

Several North Coast
conservation projects have
received funding from the
state Watershed Enhance-
ment Board.
The Columbia Land Trust
received $332,080 as a local
match to a federal grant the
group is seeking to buy 90
acres at South Tongue Point.
The Columbia River Estu-
ary Study Taskforce would
oversee the restoration of the
land into off-channel salmon
habitat. Clatsop Commu-
nity College would eventu-
ally take ownership of the
restored wetlands as a living
laboratory.
The North Coast Land
Conservancy
received
$347,900 to buy 100 acres
of forest and wetlands
upstream along the Necani-
cum River from the existing
Shangrila Wetlands south of
Seaside. The group acquired
70 acres of the intertidal
Sitka spruce swamp in 2009
with funding from the water-
shed board and the Doris
Duke Foundation.
The conservancy also
received $404,665 for a fea-
make for shorter fall Chinook
retention seasons.
“Through the recent sea-
son-setting
process,
we
worked with the public to
design fall fisheries within the
upriver bright Chinook con-
straints,” said John North, fish-
eries manager for the Oregon
Department of Fish and Wild-
life’s River Program.
The wild bright, or tule pop-
ulations, limit other river fish-
eries as fishery managers must
work to minimize impacts on
those fish.
“Hopefully a run upgrade
in mid-September will allow
us to liberalize some fisheries
and provide additional oppor-
tunity,” North said.
