Good numbers for fall chinook
The fishers from the
Warm Springs, Yakama, Nez
Perce and Umatilla tribes are
taking to the Columbia River
for the fall commercial fish-
ing season.
The first of five tribal
commercial gillnet openings
started Monday. Tribal fish-
ers could harvest as much as
240,000 fall chinook during
these first five openings. A
harvest of that size equates
to approximately 3.5 million
pounds of salmon.
The public is allowed to
purchase salmon, steelhead,
and coho directly from Indian
fishers. Sales to the public
should last into October, with
peak abundance from just
before Labor Day through
mid-September.
The majority of the tribal
harvest is sold to wholesale
fish dealers, and can be found
in stores and restaurants
around the Northwest.
Fishery biologists esti-
mate that the 2014 fall
chinook return will break last
year’s record with 1.5 million
fall chinook entering the Co-
lumbia.
Fishery managers are also
predicting a record return of
61,000 Snake River fall
chinook.
Fisheries managers actively
monitor the returns during
fall fisheries; so harvest can
be adjusted as needed to re-
main within the strict limits
established under the US v.
Oregon fisheries management
agreement.
The tribal fishery offers
an ample supply of fish for
the public through over-the-
bank sales.
Common sales locations
include: Marine Park in Cas-
cade
Locks,
North
Bonneville - one mile east of
Bonneville Dam, and Celilo
Village.

bia River Inter-Tribal Fish
Commission salmon market-
ing program at 888-289-1855.
