Oregon and Washington fishery managers have liberalized the bag limit for adult salmon on the Columbia River; as of Oct. 1, the daily adult bag limit of two salmon may include up to two Chinook.
The change applies to the ongoing recreational fishery open through Dec. 31 in the Columbia River from Buoy 10 to the Highway 395 Bridge near Pasco, WA. All coho retained downstream of the Hood River Bridge must be hatchery-origin.
