Action: The Columbia River from the Rocky Point/Tongue Point line upstream to the I-5 Bridge will not open to steelhead and jack Chinook angling beginning May 16, 2008 as originally scheduled.
Effective date: May 16, 2008 through June 15, 2008.
Species affected: Steelhead and jack Chinook.
Location: Columbia River from the Rocky Point/Tongue Point line upstream to the I-5 Bridge.
Reason for action: Modification to the mainstem steelhead sport fishery is necessary to provide additional protection to spring chinook destined for areas above Bonneville Dam.
