Fishing report 7/3

Summer chinook anglers get four more days — today through Sunday — to retain adult hatchery fish in the lower Columbia, then it’s a steelhead show until Aug. 1 when fall salmon season opens.

The sockeye run will begin to wane pretty soon, but sportsmen are allowed to keep sockeye through July 31.

Steelhead counts at Bonneville Dam are improving, as is the catch rate downstream of Longview.

Bonneville pool will reopen for sturgeon on July 11-12 and July 18-19.

Anglers at Ilwaco averaged 1.4 salmon per rod with the catch 88 percent coho last week. At Westport, the average was 1.6 salmon per rod with 64 percent coho.

Canyon Creek in northeast Clark County was stocked in late June with another 1,000 rainbow trout, while Council Lake near Mount Adams received 3,000 rainbow trout.
