Columbia River Fishing Seasons Planned

Oregon and Washington fishery managers announced seasons and regulations for 2020 summer and fall Columbia River fisheries.  Although sockeye and fall Chinook returns show improvement from 2019, below average projections for summer Chinook, coho, and upriver summer steelhead will require another year of reduced or closed seasons and bag limits.  The summer season will be limited to sockeye and steelhead retention.  The fall season is based on a projected return of fall Chinook that is about 12% higher than last year.  Due to the low projected returns for upriver summer steelhead, protective regulations are needed again this fall including a one steelhead daily bag limit in June and July, area-specific steelhead retention closures beginning in August, and Thermal Angling Sanctuaries associated with Eagle Creek, Herman Creek, and the Deschutes River.  For more information about upcoming Columbia River seasons, including regulation updates, visit www.myodfw.com.
