Fall Chinook Salmon Fishing Below Bonneville Dam to Close Early by Bill Monroe The Oregonian, September 4, 2019

Fall chinook salmon fishing below Bonneville Dam will close at 12:01 a.m. Friday.

Fish managers in Oregon and Washington ordered the closure during a conference call Wednesday afternoon after noting higher-than-expected catches by anglers in the last area open to fall chinook below Bonneville: from the dam downriver to Warrior Rock on Sauvie Island.

Fishing had been expected to last through Sunday.

Angling and fall chinook retention will continue upriver from Bonneville Dam.
