Columbia River summer salmon, steelhead fishing on through end of July

Posted on July 16, 2020 by Editor

CLACKAMAS, Ore.—Fishery managers in Washington and Oregon set additional salmon and steelhead fishing days this month during their joint meeting July 15th, thanks to the continued strong upper Columbia summer Chinook and sockeye runs.

Recreational fishing will be open July 16 through July 31 for the retention of hatchery steelhead and hatchery Chinook (adults and jacks), in the mainstem Columbia River from the Tongue Point-Rocky Point line upstream to the Highway 395 Bridge at Pasco, Wash. The daily bag limit includes two adult hatchery salmonids (Chinook and steelhead only), of which only one may be a steelhead. All salmon except hatchery Chinook must be released. All other permanent regulations, including bag limits for jack Chinook, apply.

The shad fishing closure scheduled through today in Bonneville Pool was intended to limit sockeye handle, but was not continued during today’s meeting. Therefore, shad fishing in Bonneville Pool (Bonneville Dam upstream to The Dalles Dam) will reopen tomorrow, July 16. Sockeye handle in this fishing zone is expected to be minimal due to low effort and the waning shad run, so no additional mortality to ESA-listed Snake River sockeye due to shad fishing is expected.

Fall management seasons on the Columbia River begin Aug. 1, and fall seasons have already been set. Some areas of the mainstem will be closed to salmon fishing as of Aug. 1 and reopen later in the month. See the Columbia River Zone regulations page for details on fall salmon and steelhead seasons,https://myodfw.com/recreation-report/fishing-report/columbia-zone

Anglers are reminded that thermal angling sanctuaries to protect wild steelhead take effect today, July 15. All fishing is closed in these sanctuaries adjacent to, and within the lower reaches of Eagle Creek, Herman Creek, and the Deschutes River. See details at the Columbia River Zone regulations page,https://myodfw.com/recreation-report/fishing-report/columbia-zone#TSA
