Salmon Counts at Bonneville Allow Reopening of Sportfishing by Bill Monroe The Oregonian, May 7, 2025

Oregon and Washington will reopen spring chinook salmon fishing Friday on the Columbia River below Bonneville Dam.

More salmon than expected in counts at the dam allowed approval Wednesday of a two week extension, May 9 to 22, from Tongue Point to the dam and for two days, Saturday and Tuesday (May 10 and 13) from Bonneville upriver.

All previous rules remain in effect; hatchery fish only and one salmon per day. While not exceptional, biologists said returns are tracking above five and 10 year averages and some of the test fishing results are the best since 2022.
