WDFW and ODFW ask for your input on recreational fall Chinook salmon seasons in the mainstem Columbia River. Please complete this survey at https://publicinput.com/columbiariverfallchinook no later than Jan. 15, 2023.
Fall salmon seasons have closed earlier than anticipated in recent years due to impacts to ESA-listed stocks. Fishery managers are considering ways to reduce the likelihood of this outcome in the future.
The survey lists several possible management strategies for future Columbia River fisheries and asks anglers to identify which strategies they would most like to see.
The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your input.
