Columbia River Spring Chinook 2017 Season Under Way!

Two Chrome Bright Spring Chinook Salmon Caught on the Columbia River 

The Columbia River Spring Chinook 2017 Season is well underway.  After a slow start to the season hampered by flood stage waters on the Columbia, the water has receded and it's now time to catch lots of delicious king salmon.

The 2017 Columbia River King Salmon Season has already been extended.  The 2017 Columbia River Chinook Forecast that there would be 6,905 spring chinook that recreational anglers could keep from going above bonneville dam.  

As of April 7th, a day after the season was originally scheduled to close, less than 100 of the 6,905 fish have been caught.

This means that there will likely be another extension past this coming Monday so we will have the opportunity to catch the recreational quota.
