Columbia River fall salmon survey
The Oregon and Washington departments of fish and wildlife are asking for input on fall Chinook salmon seasons in the Columbia River. Fall salmon seasons have closed earlier than planned in recent years due to impacts to ESA listed stocks. Fishery managers are considering ways to reduce the likelihood of early closures, and are asking anglers which potential strategies they would like to see.
Tell us what you think by completing this 10-minute survey no later than Jan. 15, 2023.
