Oregon and Washington fisheries managers from Oregon and Washington say recreational Chinook salmon retention in the Columbia River between Warrior Rock and Bonneville Dam will close effective Friday morning at 12:01 a.m., three days earlier than originally scheduled. The states decided to close the fishery early after reviewing harvest data that indicated recreational fishermen in that river section have already surpassed their preseason Chinook salmon harvest guideline by approximately 40 percent. Other sections of the lower Columbia River closed to Chinook retention in August. Chinook retention remains open between Bonneville and McNary dams. In the meantime, Coho salmon returns appear to be strong and offer potential for additional recreational fishing opportunity.
