Looks like the recommendation will be to keep bouy 10 open at least through wednesday when there will be another compact meeting by conference call at 3:00p.

Get them while you can!!!!

Sounded like through Friday was the most likely earliest cut-off... but will have to wait until Wednesday for sure. At least they are pushing to see what unused nook impacts (if any) are available from the ocean fishery and apply them to the river - that will help.

HOW DO YOU GET THE REPORT THAT THEY ALL HAVE IN FRONT OF THEM .

 

[zueth]

Do we know how long the fishing from Bachelors to Tounge Point it going to stay open?

 

[Splash]

NW Jet, assuming they have it out in time you can find it here. It is the FACT SHEET that they use.

Are we talking outside bouy 10 or inside bouy 10 that is in question? If it is inside then I for one will not buy a liscence next year, and my boat will be up for sale.

Bouy 10 to Tongue point is in question and will stay open until at least friday...beyond that who knows?!?!?! This is for king retention only as I believe the coho fishery will keep going once it closes for chinook.

Give that man a gold star. Absolutely correct.:applause::applause::applause:

 

[Bill Monroe]

Yup...that's right...from Tongue Point to Warrior Rock closes to chinook on Tuesday night, I believe...regardless of any other decisions. From Warrior Rock (Bachelor) upriver will remain open to a single chinook per day.

 

[WaterDog]

From Warrior Rock (Bachelor) upriver will remain open to a single chinook per day.

Until the end of the run or ?

I suggest waiting until after the spring run. The upriver jack counts are hinting positive even though we may have to catch em' above the Willamette.

Until the end of the run or ?

Until the end of September. October will be open again unless the entire fall Chinook allocation is used.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if the Willamette spring chinook prediction is below a certain number, there will be no fishing in the Willamette, or the Columbia, below Kelley Point.
I don't have the exact number, but I think it's around 30K.
It doesn't look good, at this point.
