Salmon fishing expands on Columbia River
Oregon and Washington have relaxed all restrictions on Columbia River salmon fishing through at least the end of September.
It includes reopening of sport salmon fishing between Cathlamet, Wash., and Warrior Rock on Sauvie Island.
Basically, all current fishing will continue under the same rules until Sept. 30, beyond Friday and Sunday’s previous closures listed from Buoy 10 to the Oregon/Washington border.
The daily limit in most areas remains two salmon daily, only one chinook (hatchery or wild) and any hatchery coho. The exception remains a three-hatchery-coho limit at Buoy 10.
Managers may meet again next week or the week after to review catches and consider additional fishing.
Biologists said the Columbia fall runs have exceeded expectations.
“We want to make excess fish available to as much of the public as possible.” said Tucker Jones, Columbia River and ocean project manager for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

MEDFORD, Ore. — Fire crews quickly knocked down a trailer fire Monday night that threatened a nearby home in the 3000 block of Table Rock Road, displacing one resident.
Firefighters responded around 9:20 p.m. Monday, May 4. Engine 14 arrived to find a trailer on fire and the flames threatening a nearby residence. Crews knocked the fire down within eight minutes of arrival.
No injuries to civilians or firefighters were reported. One resident was displaced as a result of the fire.
The cause is believed to be related to the use of an outdoor fire pit, where embers likely ignited nearby combustible materials. Officials said the fire spread from pallets and other items to the RV, causing extensive damage to the RV and minor damage to the exterior of the home.
With warmer, drier weather approaching, officials warned fire risk increases and urged people to follow outdoor fire safety tips. They recommend using a screen on outdoor fires when burning wood, choosing approved propane free-standing fire pits rather than wood-fueled options, keeping combustible materials at least 15 feet away, and discarding cigarettes, ash, embers and other smoldering materials in a non-combustible container filled with water.
Medford Police, Mercy Flights Inc. and Jackson County Fire District 3 assisted on the incident.
