Smolt to Adult Return (SAR) estimates for Spring/Summer Chinook passing Lower Granite dam on their migration to and from the Pacific Ocean. . . .

Salmon and steelhead
Fall chinook harvest opens Thursday in the Snake River through Oct. 31. From the mouth (Burbank to Pasco railroad bridge at Snake River mile 1.25) to Lower Granite dam, it will be open seven days a week with a daily limit of two adult hatchery chinook. From the downstream edge of the large power lines crossing the Snake River, approximately 3 miles below Clarkston upstream to the Oregon state line, it will also be open seven days a week with a daily limit of three adult chinook, clipped or unclipped.

Chinook salmon retention in south-central Puget Sound (Marine Area 11) has been suspended beginning through Sept. 30 after the WDFW fishery managers determined it was nearing the chinook harvest quota. At this time, coho fishing will remain open daily through the summer.
