Title: Lower Cr reopens update
Post by: Blacklab on May 11, 2022, 01:37:01 PM: Dates will be May 12-22 and June 4-15. The river reopens June 16 for summer chinook fishing. 👍😉🥃🇺🇸

OLYMPIA – As the number of upriver spring Chinook continues to exceed expectations, fishery managers from Washington and Oregon on Wednesday agreed to allow 11 more days on the lower Columbia River for recreational spring Chinook fishing beginning Tuesday, May 24, in addition to two days upstream of Bonneville Dam.

Instead of doing the right thing splitting up remaining quota and giving everyone another crack at them . Complete steaming pile of crap . I fished last 4 days of the upriver season that was emergency closed two days early and never once got checked at a popular launch that has never not had a checker in the last 15 years ! Boooooooooooo

After an epic battle between Fisher woman and fish. And one instance where I was worried if she was going to pull the fish in the boat or the fish was going to pull her in the water she won the fight!

Beautiful 15 pounder. Pretty good for somebody 85 years old!

Saw 1 jack caught. Only 2 fish of the day.
