‘A Solid Year’ For Columbia-Snake Pikeminnow Program

And that’s a wrap on the 2025 pikeminnow bounty season on portions of the Columbia and Snake Rivers. “All in all, a solid year a little below our 169,000-fish average, but not bad,” stated Eric Winther, who manages the Northern Pikeminnow Sport-Reward Fishery Program out of Ridgefield on the Lower Columbia.
