COLUMBIA RIVER — Commercial sales of summer chinook began this week along the Columbia River above Bonneville Dam.

Members of the four Columbia River treaty tribes are offering summer chinook, steelhead and sockeye salmon directly to the public. Near Vancouver, the closest location will be Marine Park at Cascade Locks, Ore.

“The fishery helps tribal fishers support their families and local economies while providing a high-quality product to consumers,” said Paul Lumley, executive director of the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission.
