Spring chinook anglers get one more shot in the lower Columbia River on Saturday, then must wait until May 16.

Most everyone agrees the upper Columbia-Snake run is waning daily, and the catch is anticipated to be slower than Saturday and Sunday, which was not as good as April 16.

Klineline Pond was stocked with 3,000 brown trout last week.
