Chilkat Enterpriser 553-1471 (AP) — Representatives o f C olum bia R iver tribes say Oregon and Washington have allowed too much nontribal fishing o f upper Colum bia spring chinook at the prob able expense o f tribes de pending on what may be an unexpectedly low run. The Columbia River Inter trib a l F ish C o m m issio n , which represents the Warm Springs, Nez Perce, Umatilla and Yakama tribes, sent a let ter to the states last week. So far, tribal fisherm en above Bonneville D am have caught about 1,000 spring chinook, while nontribal fish eries have c a u g h t a b o u t 19,000, according to the let ter from N. Kathryn Brigham, the group’s chairwoman. The numbers are supposed to be about equal. Spring chinook, the river’s m ost valuable fish pound for pound, are im portant to the tribes’ diet, ceremonies and commercial harvest as well as to sp o rtfish erm en and nontribal commercial fisher men. A nd the wild runs o f spring chinook that originate in the upper Columbia and Snake rivers are among the more endangered. F ishery m anagers p ro jected a near-record run o f 300,000 u p riv e r sp rin g chinook this year, about a quarter wild fish and three quarters hatchery. But so far, only 22,000 have reached Bonneville Dam, about half the total at the same time last year,'w hen the run totaled slightly fewer than 180,000 by the end o f the season in June.
