Columbia River steelhead, jack chinook sport fishery openers delayed - FishNews - 05-14-2008
Action: The Columbia River from the Rocky Point/Tongue Point line upstream to the I-5 Bridge will not open to steelhead and jack Chinook angling beginning May 16, 2008 as originally scheduled.
<br>Effective date: May 16, 2008 through June 15, 2008.<br>
<br>Species affected: Steelhead and jack Chinook.<br>
<br>Location: Columbia River from the Rocky Point/Tongue Point line upstream to the I-5 Bridge.<br>
<br>Reason for action: Modification to the mainstem steelhead sport fishery is necessary to provide additional protection to spring chinook destined for areas above Bonneville Dam.<br>
