Bolstered by encouraging fall chinook salmon numbers at Bonneville Dam and a robust coho return down low, Oregon and Washington biologists met Tuesday and approved extensions of salmon fishing from the Columbia River mouth to Pasco, Washington.
New rules for chinook are:
Buoy 10 to west Puget Island – Sept. 12 to 22: three salmon daily limit (chinook or hatchery coho), only one chinook. In addition, a three-fish daily limit for hatchery coho will extend from Sept. 23 to Oct. 31.
Warrior Rock to Bonneville Dam – Sept. 16-22: two salmon daily limit (chinook or hatchery coho), only one chinook.
Bonneville Dam to U.S. 395 Bridge in Pasco: two salmon daily limit (chinook or coho; all wild coho must be released downriver from the Hood River Bridge), only one chinook.
