Summer salmon, steelhead seasons set by ODFW
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
regulation changes and in-sea-
son 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

Tips
• Use a buddy system when
working in excessive heat.
• Take frequent breaks if you
must work outdoors.
• Check on family, friends
and neighbors who do not have
air conditioning, who spend
much of their time alone or
who are more likely to be
affected by the heat.
• Check on your animals fre-
quently to ensure that they are
not suffering from the heat.
How to Treat Heat-Related
Illnesses During heat waves
people are susceptible to sever-
al heat-related conditions.
Here’s how to recognize and
respond to them:
Heat Cramps: Heat cramps
are muscular pains and spasms
that usually occur in the legs or
abdomen. Heat cramps are
often an early sign that the
body is having trouble with the
heat.
• Get the person to a cooler
place and have him or her rest
in a comfortable position.
Lightly stretch the affected
muscle.
• Give an electrolyte-con-
taining fluid, such as a sports
drink. Water may also be
given.
Heat Exhaustion: Heat
exhaustion is a more severe
condition than heat cramps.
Heat exhaustion often affects
athletes, firefighters and con-
struction workers.
It also affects those wearing
heavy clothing in a hot, humid
environment.
• Signs of heat exhaustion
include cool, moist, pale, ashen
or flushed skin; headache; nau-
sea; dizziness; weakness; and
exhaustion.
• Move the person to a cool-
er environment with circulat-
ing air. Remove or loosen as
much clothing as possible and
apply cool, wet towels to the
skin. Fanning or spraying the
person with water also can
help.
If the person is conscious,
give small amounts of a cool
fluid such as a sports drink or
fruit juice to restore fluids and
electrolytes.
Give about 4 ounces of fluid
every 15 minutes.
• If the person’s condition
does not improve or if he or
she refuses water, has a change
in consciousness, or vomits,
call 9-1-1.
Heat Stroke: Heat stroke is a
life-threatening condition that
usually occurs by ignoring the
signals of heat exhaustion.
Heat stroke develops when the
body systems are overwhelmed
by heat and begin to stop func-
tioning.
• Signs of heat stroke
include extremely high body
temperature, red skin which
may be dry or moist; changes
in consciousness; rapid, weak
pulse; rapid, shallow breath-
ing; confusion; vomiting; and
seizures.
• Heat stroke is life-threaten-
ing. Call 9-1-1 immediately if
you believe someone is suffer-
ing from this condition.
• Rapidly cool the body by
immersing the person up to the
neck in cold water, if possible
OR douse or spray the person
with cold water.
• Cover the person with bags
of ice or cold, wet towels.
• If you are not able to meas-
ure and monitor the person’s
temperature, apply rapid cool-
ing methods for 20 minutes or
until the person’s condition
improves. Download the Red
Cross Emergency App.

Emergency App in the Apple
Store or Google Play. It offers
a Heat Wave Safety Checklist,
among many other resources.
It provides expert medical
advice right at your fingertips
and is available in multiple lan-
guages.

• Never leave children or

degrees and rising in just two
minutes.
• Stay hydrated by drinking
plenty of fluids even if you do
not feel thirsty. Avoid drinks
with caffeine or alcohol.
• Eat small meals and eat
more often.
• Wear loose-fitting, light-
weight, light-colored clothing.
Avoid dark colors because they
absorb the sun’s rays.
• Slow down, stay indoors
and avoid strenuous exercise
during the hottest part of the
day (late afternoon/evening).
