Smolt to Adult Return (SAR) estimates for Spring/Summer Chinook passing Lower Granite dam on their migration to and from the Pacific Ocean. . . .

Salmon and steelhead

As the number of upriver spring chinook continues to exceed expectations, fishery managers from Washington and Oregon on Wednesday agreed to allow 11 more days on the lower Columbia River for recreational spring chinook fishing, which began Tuesday, in addition to two days upstream of Bonneville Dam. Fishery managers continue to see good passage through Bonneville Dam. Check for any emergency rule changes -- available at fortress.wa.gov/dfw/erules/efishrules/ before heading out.

Snake River creel estimates moved WDFW to announce an upcoming closure for the spring chinook fishery, effective Friday, at 11:59 p.m., below Little Goose Dam. This includes the area from Texas Rapids boat launch (located on the south side of the river upstream of the mouth of Tucannon River) to the fishing restriction boundary below the dam, including both shores and the rock/concrete area between the juvenile bypass return pipe and the south shoreline of the dam facilities, known locally as The Wall. The area below Ice Harbor Dam closed two days prior. . . .
