Spring chinook salmon angling in the lower Columbia River will remain closed until mid-May or later, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife announced Tuesday. Washington and Oregon officials are planning a joint state hearing next week to address angling between Bonneville Dam and the Washington-Oregon border east of Umatilla, Ore., which is scheduled to close May 5. Anglers caught a projected 6,355 adult spring chinook from 26,936 trips during the four-day fishing extension in the lower Columbia, which ended on Sunday. The total catch for 2017 is 8,947 adult spring chinook and 6,482 adult spring chinook destined for waters upstream of Bonneville Dam.
