Fisheries managers have approved another two-day opener for spring Chinook in the lower Columbia River. Anglers can fish Saturday and Sunday from Warrior Rock up to Beacon Rock for boats, and for bank anglers up to the Bonneville Dam deadline.
Spring Chinook angling is open through May 5 from Tower Island power lines upstream to the Oregon/Washington border above McNary Dam, plus the banks between Bonneville Dam and Tower Island power lines.
Spring Chinook angling is open on the Willamette River, but catches have been slowed by river conditions.
White sturgeon retention is closed from Buoy 10 upstream to McNary Dam but remains an option for catch-and-release fishing. Anglers are reminded that spawning sanctuaries take effect Wednesday (see special regulations for details).
