Retention fishery for sturgeon to close
from Bonneville Dam to The Dalles Dam
Action: The sport retention fishery for sturgeon between Bonneville Dam and The Dalles Dam on the Columbia River will close July 30.
Effective date: 12:01 a.m., July 30, through Dec. 31, 2007.
Species affected: Sturgeon
Location: The Columbia River and tributaries from Bonneville Dam upstream to The Dalles Dam.
Reason for action: The closure date for retention of sturgeon was adopted because Washington and Oregon fish managers estimate that the harvest guideline of 700 fish will be caught by July 30.
Other information: The section of the Columbia River and tributaries between The Dalles Dam and McNary Dam remains closed to sturgeon retention through December 31. The spawning sanctuaries from the Highway 395/I-82 bridge upstream to McNary Dam and from the Rufus grain elevator upstream to John Day Dam remain closed to all sturgeon fishing through July 31.
