Spring chinook fishing beginning
With the spring chinook
salmon fishing season begin-
ning, Bruce Jim, member of
the Fish and Wildlife Com-
mittee of the Confederated
Tribes of Warm Springs, gave
the following statement:
“An ongoing concern is the
fact that the non-treaty fish-
ery typically concentrates fish-
ing at the beginning of the run
despite the uncertainties in
forecasts. There is ample op-
portunity to space out fish-
ing through June 15.
“A higher proportion of
the catch could be allocated
to fisheries upstream of
Zone 6 that could occur af-
ter there is more certainty
about the actual run size.
“The benefits of a fishery
season that is spaced more
evenly include an improved
ability to react to changes as
the runs are updated with in-
formation in-season.”
35th annual
powwow
at Heritage
The Thirty-Fifth
Annual Traditional
Powwow at Heritage
High School in
Vancouver, Washing-
ton is coming up this
Saturday, March 3.
Grand entries are
at 1 and 6, with a
hand-drum contest
during the dinner
break.
He added that the tribes
expect careful management
of this fishery.
The comment came as
spring chinook fishing be-
gins for recreational anglers
in the lower Columbia
River, and two weeks later
upstream of Bonneville
Dam.
The two-state Columbia
River Compact made that
decision at its hearing
Wednesday, February 21, in
Portland. It also decided to
open recreational angling
for salmon in lower river
select areas and tweaked
Treaty commercial white
sturgeon gillnetting, adding
one day in the John Day
pool and 9.5 days in The
Dalles pool.
In both pools, sturgeon
fishing ends March 3.
Based on a pre-season
run-size forecast of 166,700
upriver spring chinook
(248,520 total to the Colum-
bia River mouth), the Com-
pact allocated 9,685 fish to
recreational anglers, but that
is split, giving 7,157 of the
fish to anglers downstream
of Bonneville Dam, 954
fish to those upriver in the
mainstem Columbia River to
the Oregon/Washington
border, among other alloca-
tions.
