States allow two
days for sturgeon
Anglers will have two days
to get out on the Columbia
River to catch and retain
white sturgeon under rules
approved last week by the Or-
egon and Washington depart-
ments of fish and wildlife.
The two-day recreational
fishery is Sept. 15 and 22.
The white sturgeon season
is about two weeks earlier
than last year, when inclem-
ent weather impacted success
rates and overall harvest.
Fishers are expected to catch
1,231 fish in the two days.
