I wanted to continue with the updates on the sockeye return to the Columbia River and the new rules that will be in place for the Brewster Pool this season. I am posting the graph for Tuesday, June 24th. As I mentioned, it appears that the run has peaked, but it is still huge. If you want to see this information, and even track the run as it moves upstream to our area, log onto www.fpc.org. You can choose to just go to the Fish Counts tab on the home page of my website at www.fishngmagician.com. Click on graph options when the Fish Passage Center website opens, and you will see the graphs that I post. Also, the new rules for fishing the Brewster Pool are in the Washington State Rules pamphlet. They are only available on-line right now. When you download the pamphlet, scroll down to pages 61 through 63 to get the rules for Wells Dam upstream to Bridgeport. In the Brewster Pool it reads “release all salmon except sockeye”. The daily limit in this area will be six fish, including two hatchery Chinook and four sockeye. Get my Summer E-Letter for where to fish for sockeye, even from shore.
