The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has announced its regulations for the state's 2023-2024 coastal steelhead fishing season.

The program is simple. During certain months of the year you can make big bucks fishing on the Columbia River. And, save salmon at the same time.

The Deparment of Fish and Wildlife has temporarily banned sturgeon fishing on the Columbia between Priest Rapids and The Dalles Dam til September.

The Morrow County Sheriff's Office and other regional law enforcement officers say wear a life vest or flotation device even if just wading out a little into the Columbia. Especially by Umatilla, currents are fast and tricky.

Thanks to the Grant County Fire Marshall, we can share this website that shows restrictions due to burn bans, wildfire dangers, and more. Good to know if you're heading into the boondocks.

Due to increasing pressure and resistance, most observers expect Inslee to lift fishing restrictions Monday.

Move is being done to keep COVID distancing, and to prevent Washingtonians from crowding Oregon areas.

Apparently we can 'blame' the West side again. DFW officials seem to indicate the ban extension, especially for fishing, is due to 'crowding' at certain popular fishing areas--mainly on West Side.

From the pictures, pretty clear NO type of truck regardless of make or model, would have been able to get out of there. Towing is going to be fun!
