Chinook Angling On Lower Columbia Through Holiday Weekend

Columbia River Chinook anglers can celebrate the Fourth of July with some fishing, as fishery managers announced that the lower Columbia River is re-open to summer Chinook through Sunday (July 6). The fishery will be open from the Astoria-Megler Bridge upstream to Bonneville Dam with a daily bag limit of two adult salmonids – Chinook, steelhead or sockeye – per day. All Chinook and steelhead must be fin-clipped. Oregon and Washington fishery managers announced the re-opening of sockeye salmon retention on the lower river through July 31. The re-opening is based on run strength and the harvest to date. From this, managers calculated there were enough fish remaining on the harvest guideline for four additional days of fishing.
