Zone 6 fishery closure
The four Columbia River treaty
tribes made a change last week to
the zone 6 fishery, because the to-
tal allowed treaty mainstem spring
catch was expected to be met, based
on the Columbia River mouth run
size.
The zone 6 platform, and hook
and line fishery closed last Thurs-
day, May 31. The summer manage-
ment period begins on Saturday,
June 16. Subsistence platform fish-
eries will re-open at that time. Sum-
mer season commercial fisheries will
be announced later.
The announcement, released by
the Columbia River Inter-Tribal
Fish Commission, was not a for-
mal fishery regulation: The indi-
vidual tribes determine actual fish-
ing regulations for the members.
Copies of the regulations are avail-
able from tribal fishery depart-
ments.
Treaty tributary fisheries are
managed based on separate limits
and are not affected by the clo-
sure of the mainstem fishery.
Please consult with the Fisheries
department at the Branch of
Natural Resources.
