2 C SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 2017 ODFW sets summer upriver salmon, steelhead seasons Oregon and Washington fishery managers have announced the 2017 summer and fall salmon and steelhead seasons for the Columbia River. The summer season is simi- lar to last year, except that the daily bag limit on hatchery steelhead has been reduced to one fish due to poor expected hatchery and wild steelhead returns. The season begins this Friday, June 16, with a daily bag limit of two adult salmonids, which may include up to two hatchery Chinook, but no more than one hatchery steelhead. Sockeye may also be retained as part of the adult daily limit. The season is expected to remain open through July 31. Fishery managers are fore- casting a return of 63,100 sum- mer Chinook and 130,700 sum- mer steelhead, and 198,500 sockeye salmon, all lower than last year’s actual returns. The fall season, which begins Aug. 1, includes the popular Buoy 10 fishery near Astoria and the fall “upriver bright” Chinook season in the mainstem Columbia. Upriver bright Chinook are well known for their larger size and aggres- sive nature. Fishery managers forecast that 582,600 fall Chinook will enter the river this year, which is down from about 640,000 returning fall Chinook in 2016. Due to the low projected returns for upriver summer steelhead, additional protective regulations are needed this fall including area-specific steel- head retention closures. The rolling 1-2 month closures start in August and progress upriver following the steelhead return to reduce take of both hatchery and wild fish. These closures affect the mainstem Columbia and the lower reaches of specif- ic tributaries. When retention is allowed, the 1-steelhead bag limit will also remain in effect through- out much of the fall. Anglers are reminded that Columbia River fisheries are managed to quotas and that reg- ulation changes and in-season modifications can happen quickly, based on actual returns and harvest rates. ODFW rec- ommends that anglers make sure they understand the latest season dates and regulations before venturing out on the water by checking the Columbia River Regulations Update Page www.dfw.state.or. us/resources/fishing/reg_chang es/columbia.asp online.

I am a very active young girl who loves to go out to the yard and have lots of fun either tugging or fetching. I also like to go for walks. I need someone to teach me my leash manners, I am still very young and have not yet been taught the basics a dog should be taught. I do have a dog friend. It can be diffi cult for other dogs to accept me, because my energy level can sometimes be overwhelming when meeting new dogs. I really need someone who is going to work with me on becoming the best dog I can be, and who will be my best friend forever! Any approved adopters that already have a dog in the home must bring their dog in for a quick meet and greet to make sure they will be a good match.
