September 11, 2018
Action: Closes salmon and steelhead angling
Effective date: September 13, 2018 until further notice
Species affected: Salmon and steelhead
Location: Deep River
Reason for action: Counts of fall chinook at Bonneville Dam are 31 percent below preseason forecasts and on-going fisheries are approaching the allowable catch limits under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This action is being taken to reduce chinook impacts due to the reduced run-size projection.
Additional information: Oregon select areas (Youngs Bay, Tongue Point/South Channel, Blind Slough and Knappa Slough) are closed to salmon and steelhead angling as well. The salmon and steelhead run will continue to be monitored as the season progresses.
