News: Oregon extends Columbia River salmon/steelhead closure
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife today announced that recreational salmon and steelhead fishing in Oregon waters of the Columbia River will remain closed indefinitely.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) closed all of Washington’s recreational fisheries on March 25, and in an announcement issued on April 6 extended its hunting and fishing closures through May 4. The Oregon and Washington departments of fish and wildlife jointly manage Columbia River fisheries. In response to Washington’s closure, and to maintain concurrent regulations, Oregon closed the Columbia River spring salmon and steelhead seasons on March 26.
