Anglers will be able to retain eight salmon
and up to six adult sockeye salmon in the main
stem of the Columbia River above Priest Rapids
Dam.
Effective dates and locations:
Main stem of the Columbia River -
(1) From U.S. Highway 395 Bridge at Pasco to
Priest Rapids Dam, July 15 - July 31, 2014.
(2) From Priest Rapids Dam to Wanapum Dam,
July 11 - Aug. 31, 2014.
(3) From Wanapum Dam to Wells Dam, July 11
- Oct. 15, 2014.
(4) From Wells Dam to state Route 173 Bridge in
Brewster, July 16 - Aug. 31, 2014.
(5) From state Route 173 Bridge in Brewster to
Chief Joseph Dam, July 11 - Oct. 15, 2014
Sockeye salmon are the only species affected.
The Sockeye salmon returns above Priest Rapids
Dam are predicted to be far in excess of needs for
wild fish escapement to the spawning grounds and
the population is not listed under the Endangered
Species Act (ESA).
The minimum size is 12 inches. Daily limit for
each angler is eight salmon, up to two may be adult
hatchery chinook and up to six may be sockeye. An-
glers must release coho and wild adult chinook. All
sockeye with a colored anchor (floy) tag attached
must be released.
All anglers must possess a valid fishing license
and a Columbia River Salmon/Steelhead Endorse-
ment to participate in this fishery. Revenue from
the endorsement supports salmon or steelhead sea-
sons on many rivers in the Columbia River system,
including enforcing fishery regulations and moni-
toring the upper Columbia River steelhead fish-
eries. The endorsement has generated more than
$1 million annually for WDFW to maintain and
increase fishing opportunities throughout the Co-
lumbia River Basin.
