Additional Chinook Fishing Downstream Of Bonneville Dam

Following a second run upgrade, fishery managers from Oregon and Washington adopted additional fishing for recreational spring Chinook salmon in the Columbia River downstream of Bonneville Dam today during a joint state hearing.  With the days added, the spring Chinook season below Bonneville Dam runs through Sunday, then again from this coming Tuesday to June 15.  The additional opportunity is based on an updated May 16 forecast that projects the return of 180,000 upriver-origin adult spring Chinook, up from 161,000 projected a week ago.  At this level, the updated projection would be about 118 percent of the recent 10-year average return of these fish.  Above Bonneville Dam, there are two days allocated for recreational spring Chinook salmon fishing, May 26 and May 28.  The latest details on Columbia River fishing regulations are available at myodfw.com.
