Buoy 10, Lower Columbia River Chinook seasons extended

September 20, 2016

CLACKAMAS, Ore. – Anglers will have through Sept. 30 to keep hatchery Chinook salmon from Buoy 10 upstream to the Warrior Rock/Bachelor Island deadline, under rules adopted today by fishery managers from Oregon and Washington.

The season extension is the third one this month and allows Chinook retention in the ongoing Buoy 10 and Lower Columbia River fisheries to continue through Sept. 30. After that, both areas are scheduled to reopen to retention of any Chinook, effective Oct. 1 - Dec. 31, under permanent rules.

Today’s action means only hatchery Chinook may be retained from Buoy 10 upstream to Warrior Rock through Sept. 30. All wild fish must be released unharmed. The daily adult bag limit is two salmonids a day, of which only one may be a Chinook and only one may be a hatchery steelhead.
