No smelt in Cowlitz this season
The smelt season on the Cowlitz
didn’t happen this year.
The Confederated Tribes
opened a season, but apparently no
one caught any smelt.
Meanwhile, the Washington
Department of Fish and Wildlife
closed the recreational smelt sea-
son on the Cowlitz.
There were far too few smelt
returning to the Cowlitz to allow
for a season, the state officials de-
termined.
This was the first time in five
years that there was no smelt dip
netting on the river.
A commercial test fishery con-
ducted in February in the Colum-
bia River showed that area smelt
abundance was too low to warrant
a recreational fishery.
Smelt were listed in 2010 as a
threatened species from Washing-
ton state to the Mexican border
under the federal Endangered Spe-
cies Act.
Growing impact of sea lions
A new study from the North-
west Power and Conser vation
Council reveals that Sea lions con-
sumed 9 percent of an already-low
steelhead run at Bonneville Dam
in 2017. That is of top of a sea
lions eating their fill of spring Chi-
nook, sturgeon, and lamprey.
From May to early June of
2017, sea lions consumed an esti-
mated 1,800 adult salmonids. That
is more than three time the ten
year average for the same time
period, according to the study.
From January 1 to June 2 of
2017, sea lions consumed an esti-
mated 5,000 adult salmonids at the
dam.
Klamath Chinook possible ESA listing
Federal fisheries officials said
last week they will consider putting
the Pacific Northwest’s once-flour-
ishing wild spring-run Chinook
salmon on the list of threatened
or endangered species.
The National Marine Fisheries
Services plans a 12-month review
on whether to give protected sta-
tus to the salmon in and around
the Klamath River.
California’s Kuruk tribe, which
joined the Salmon River Restora-
tion Council environmental group
in petitioning for more protections
for the fish, say the species is nearly
extinct throughout much of its
range in Oregon and Northern
California.
The tribe blames Klamath River
dams for blocking the fish from
their spawning grounds.
