: Fishing: The
fishery for hatchery steelhead in the Ringold area of the
Columbia River near the Tri-Cities has been picking up this month with anglers
allowed to keep any hatchery steelhead with a clipped adipose fin. Earlier in
the season anglers were restricted to keeping only those with both a clipped
adipose fin and a clipped right ventral fin, said Paul Hoffarth, WDFW fish
biologist from Pasco. "The dual clippings identify fish reared in the
Ringold Hatchery," Hoffarth said. "Until November, we target those fish
exclusively to make sure we get enough fish above Priest Rapids Dam to meet
escapement goals."
The fishery is open through
March 31, 2009 from the Highway 395 bridge at Pasco/Kennewick upstream to the
wooden powerline towers at the old Hanford town site. Reported by: |
