A pair of Upper Columbia summer salmon derbies have been cancelled due to much lower returns of sockeye than expected and to help keep fishing open for other anglers, but meanwhile WDFW is reported to be considering “bubble” Chinook openers thanks to a somewhat larger return of summer kings than expected.

WDFW officially announces it is taking input on a proposal to modify fishing regulations for Washington Coast steelhead streams to “better align season dates and structure with the current population status, tribal co-manager agreements, and conservation goals for both winter-run and summer-run steelhead.”
