Chinook salmon retention has closed in the Columbia River at Buoy 10 as well as Rocky Point to West Puget Island.
However, the salmon limit has increased from one to two those areas. Wild coho must be released.
Chinook retention ends Tuesday, Aug. 27 from West Puget Island to Lewis.
There is a one adult salmon limit upriver from Lewis River to Bonneville Dam.
For those anglers looking to land chinook in the next week, it is suggested to fish in water 40 to 60 feet deep in the mainstream Columbia River, using wobblers anchored with a heavy weight. Chinook salmon prefer the cooler, deeper water in summer, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife said.
For catching coho, herring and spinners work well at Buoy 10, but bait and lures are best in the tributaries.
Updates
On the Lewis River, release all salmon other than hatchery cool from Johnson Creek to the power lines below Merwin Dam.
On the North Fork Toutle River, release all salmon other than hatchery coho. The daily salmon limit is six, up to four adults may be retained.
Retention of white sturgeon from Buoy 10 to McNary Dam has closed, but catch-and-release fishing remains open.
