Release of sport-caught sturgeon between
The Dalles Dam and John Day Dam
Action: The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife will require anglers to release all white sturgeon caught between The Dalles Dam and John Day Dam on the Columbia River.
Effective date: 12:01 a.m., June 28. This will keep this area closed through December 31, 2004.
Species affected: White Sturgeon
Location: The Columbia River and tributaries from The Dalles Dam upstream to John Day Dam.
Reason for action: The closure to retention of sturgeon was adopted because Washington and Oregon fish managers estimate that the harvest guideline of 400 fish will be caught by June 28.
Other information: The section of the river between John Day Dam and McNary Dam will remain open to sturgeon retention. The section of the river between Bonneville Dam and The Dalles Dam will close to the retention of sturgeon June 26.
Information contact: Dennis Gilliland, (360) 906-6733.
