Not sure if anyone already posted this? I'm sure every one is already aware. But just in case you hadn't heard yet, they closed the sockeye season on the Columbia.

"Columbia River from the Washington/Oregon border upstream to Chief Joseph Dam, Similkameen River, Okanogan River, Chelan River, Wenatchee River

Reason for action: A revised sockeye salmon forecast of approximately 100,000 for the Columbia River is half of the pre-season forecast of 200,000 fish. After subtracting fish already harvested, those destined for Lake Wenatchee, and pre-spawn mortality, all remaining sockeye must be directed toward escapement and hatchery broodstock."

Here is a link to the emergency closure;

Glad they shut down the entire river...the Snake needs every sockeye it can get.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

They should shut down the entire river for sockeye.
Low holers are still pulling in limits.
