Action: Daily limit to include only hatchery (adipose fin clipped) chinook
Effective date: Aug. 24 through Sept. 7, 2015.
Species affected: Chinook
Area: Mainstem Columbia River from Buoy 10 upstream to the Tongue Point/Rocky Point line.
Daily limit: Chinook minimum size 24-inches. Coho minimum size 16-inches. Daily limit is two adipose fin-clipped salmon or steelhead or one of each. Only one chinook may be retained. Release all salmon other than adipose fin-clipped chinook and adipose fin-clipped coho. The only chinook that may be retained are those with a clipped adipose fin and a healed scar at the location of the fin.
Reason for action: Chinook catch rates have been higher than anticipated in the Buoy 10 fishery. Mark-selective regulations will help ensure the fishery meets the season objective of allowing chinook retention through Labor Day.
Other information: The Buoy 10 fishery will be closed for chinook retention as scheduled during Sept. 8 through Sept, 30, 2015.
