Recreational sturgeon seasons in Bonneville and John Day pools will close in February under rules announced by Oregon and Washington fishery managers.  The states decided to close recreational white sturgeon retention effective Sunday in the Bonneville Pool and February 12 in the John Day Pool.  Columbia River recreational sturgeon retention seasons between Bonneville and McNary dams open at the beginning of the year and operate under area-specific harvest guidelines.  Sturgeon retention in The Dalles Pool closed January 20.  Under permanent fishing regulations, sturgeon retention is currently closed below Bonneville Dam and below Willamette Falls, but catch-and-release sturgeon fishing remains open in all of these waters.
