Sturgeon fishing closes today Banks High School Honor Roll announced
The following students were Evers, Desiree Forcier, Jami Browning, Chelsie Bunn, Mag-
on lower Columbia River
Fishery managers from Ore-
gon and Washington decided,
June 28, to close the white
sturgeon season in the lower
Columbia River estuary on July
5, four days earlier than previ-
ously scheduled.
The closure applies to the
Columbia River from its mouth
at Buoy 10 upstream approxi-
mately 40 miles to the Wauna
power lines.
Oregon and Washington de-
partments of fish and wildlife
based their action on creel sur-
vey data that indicated catch
rates have improved signifi-
cantly. Anglers were projected
to achieve their annual harvest
guideline of 4,160 white stur-
geon by July 2 and 4,400 by
July 4. As of June 24, 2,820
white sturgeon had been har-
vested, with catch rates during
June exceeding 100 white stur-
geon per day.
“We have a little flexibility in
the way that we allocate the re-
maining sturgeon guideline and
allowing families to get out and
enjoy the resource over the
Fourth of July is an appropriate
use of that flexibility,” said
Steve Williams, deputy admin-
istrator of Oregon Department
of Fish and Wildlife’s (ODFW)
Fish Division.
Sturgeon fishing in the estu-
ary is currently open seven
days a week with a daily bag
limit of one fish with a fork
length of 41 to 54 inches.
Sturgeon retention remains
open from Wauna power lines
upstream to Bonneville Dam
three days a week (Thu.-Sat.)
through July 31 and is sched-
uled to reopen October 20-
through December 31. Above
Bonneville, sturgeon retention
is closed, except between The
Dalles and John Day dams,
which is open seven days a
week.
