Oregon and Washington fishery managers have finalized preseason planning for 2024 Columbia River summer recreational salmon and steelhead fisheries.  For the summer season, retention of adult hatchery Chinook, hatchery steelhead, and sockeye will open June 16 from the Astoria-Megler Bridge upstream to the Highway 395 Bridge in Pasco.  Adult Chinook retention will only be open from June 16^th to the 19^th in the area downstream of Bonneville Dam and from June 16^th to 30^th upstream of Bonneville Dam.  However, the sockeye return is forecast to be about 20 percent higher than last year’s actual return and the retention of sockeye and hatchery steelhead is expected to remain open through the end of July.  The preseason forecast of upriver summer steelhead is slightly higher than last year’s return but still represents a poor return relative to historic levels, so anglers will see conservative retention regulations again in 2024.  Hatchery steelhead retention will be allowed June 16th to July 31^st from the Astoria-Megler Bridge upstream to The Dalles Dam and June 16th through August 31 from The Dalles Dam upstream to the Highway 395 Bridge in Pasco with a reduced bag limit of one fish.
