Action: Closes the on-going Columbia River summer Chinook fishery above Bonneville Dam.
Effective date: 12:01 a.m., July 3, 2007.
Species affected: Adult Chinook salmon.
Location: Bonneville Dam upstream to Priest Rapids Dam.
Reason for action: Recreational fisheries below Priest Rapids Dam were allocated 1,650 summer Chinook for harvest, based on the pre-season forecast. High catch projections indicate the recreational guideline has been met and additional fish may not be available, as dam passage is slightly less than expected.
Other Information: The area below Bonneville Dam closed June 30. Fall season fisheries begin August 1.
Information contact: Region 5 Office at (360) 696-6211.
