Fishing Report, July 30

Summer turns to fall beginning Saturday with the arrival of August and the fall management period. That means Buoy 10 opens at the mouth of the Columbia River. Fin-clipped coho are also allowed in the Columbia’s daily bag limit.

And although Buoy 10 opens Saturday, it is often mid-August before catches ramp up.
