Fishing report

Summer chinook season in the lower Columbia River continues through Sunday. State and tribal biologists have downgraded the run forecast slightly, from the original 70,700 to 58,000.

There were an estimated 16,770 angler trips with a catch of 1,360 summer chinook kept and 419 released during the first 10 days of the season. There also were 873 sockeye kept and 57 released.

Sturgeon angling at the estuary was closed Monday through Wednesday, but reopened today and continues through Sunday. Sturgeon retention will close again on Monday in the estuary.

The estuary sturgeon catch through Monday was 10,225, leaving 5,300 on the quota. State biologists will update the catch early next week, then discuss possible season extensions.

Ocean salmon season began on Sunday.

Butch Smith of Coho Charters said the boats that fished for salmon were back to the dock with limits at 9:30 a.m. The ocean was too rough to fish on Monday and Tuesday, he added.

"It's been like a washing machine out there,'' Smith said.
