Fishery managers on Tuesday decided to allow anglers to harvest both
marked and unmarked chinook throughout a 58-mile stretch of the Columbia between Buoy 10
and Warrior Rock.
Prior to the rule change, anglers were required to release any unclipped
chinook in this stretch of the river. This restriction was set to expire on
Sept. 30 but was lifted five days early based on new ocean harvest information
and because wild chinook destined for lower Columbia tributaries have likely moved out of
the main stem.
“Boat limit” rules remain in place throughout the river allowing all
anglers aboard a vessel to continue angling until the daily bag limit for
salmon and steelhead for all anglers onboard has been achieved.
Coho salmon and steelhead in this area are still subject to the
restriction and must be fin-clipped in order to be retained.
