Action: Closes angling for and retention of salmon and steelhead.
Effective date: Thursday, September 26, 2019 through December 31, 2019
Species affected: Salmon and steelhead.
Reason for action: Fall chinook catch estimates were recently updated, including for coho directed fisheries, and will exceed the recreational share of Upriver Bright chinook allocation. The upriver steelhead run-size is below forecast and several hatchery programs within the Snake and Clearwater basins are projecting broodstock collection shortfalls. Conservation objectives are still expected to be met.
Location: Bonneville Dam upstream to Highway 395 in Pasco, WA.
Additional information: All other permanent regulations apply.
