Night fishing will be allowed for Columbia warmwater fish
Action: Night fishing will be allowed for warmwater fish species on a section of the Columbia River.
Effective Dates: Oct. 28 through Dec. 31, 2017
Species affected: Warmwater fish, including species such as bass, walleye and burbot.
Location: Mainstem Columbia River from Buoy 10 to the Old Hanford Townsite power lines.
Reason for action: The proposed modification will allow night angling for warmwater species, while retaining the closure for other fish species for the remainder of the year. This change is not expected to result in higher mortality of steelhead.
