Chinook retention remains open upstream of Warrior Rock in the Columbia River with any chinook — hatchery or wild — allowed in the bag limit.
Washington and Oregon report 25,727 angler trips last week with 6,745 chinook kept, 6,427 chinook released, 560 adult coho kept, 365 adult coho released, 240 steelhead kept and 119 steelhead released.
Those numbers are skewed by the hatchery-chinook-only rule last week between Tongue Point and Warrior Rock. In that area, anglers made 13,539 trips with 2,200 chinook kept and 6,309 released.
Coho fishing at Buoy 10 still appears smoking hot. Oregon sampled 97 boaters on Tuesday with 248 coho.
