Oregon joins Washington in closing Columbia River fisheries
SALEM – Following the
announcement Thursday,
March 26 by the Washington
Department of Fish and
Wildlife (WDFW) that it will
close all recreational fisheries
in the state of Washington,
the Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife announced
that it will also close recre-
ational salmon and steel-
head in the Columbia River
effective Thursday, March 26
at 11:59 p.m.
In a press release distrib-
uted Wednesday afternoon,
the Washington Department
of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW)
announced its decision to
temporarily close recreation-
al fishing and shellfishing
statewide in the wake of
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee’s
order on actions to limit
the spread of coronavirus/
COVID-19.
Oregon and Washington
jointly manage fisheries in
the mainstem Columbia
River bordering both states
and seek to have concurrent
regulations. At this time,
other ongoing fisheries in
Oregon remain unchanged,

and fishing for species other
than salmon and steelhead
will still be allowed in Oregon
portions of the Columbia
River as described in perma-
nent rules.
Anglers are reminded to
follow the rules for social
distancing and maintain at
least six feet distance from
other people and minimize
non-essential travel, as di-
rected in an executive order
issued earlier this week by
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown.
ODFW also asks that anglers
and the public help ensure
the safety of ODFW employ-
ees they may encounter in
the field who are doing their
jobs by maintaining adequate
social distance.
As with the Washington
closure, ODFW anticipates
the Columbia River salmon
and steelhead fishing closure
lasting at least until April 8,
2020.
ODFW regrets any in-
convenience to anglers and
appreciates everyone coming
together to help slow the
spread of COVID-19.
