Oregon/Washington Managers extend salmon fishing above Bonneville Dam

Columbia River fishery managers yesterday extended the spring
chinook fishery above Bonneville Dam through June 15, 2011.

The area from the Tower Island power line (approximately 6 miles
below The Dalles Dam) upstream to the Oregon/Washington border AND
the Oregon and Washington banks between Bonneville Dam and the
Tower Island power lines will be open from Friday, June 3 through
Wednesday, June 15. The area had been scheduled to close on June
2.

Anglers fishing above Bonneville Dam can keep sockeye salmon,
adipose fin-clipped chinook salmon and adipose fin-clipped
steelhead. The daily bag limit is two adult salmon or steelhead in
combination, and an additional five fin-clipped jack chinook.
Sockeye salmon count towards the adult limit regardless of
size.
