470,000 Spring Chinook Forcasted for 2010 for Columbia River System

Just received an e-mail from the ODFW with the Columbia River Spring Chinook forecast for 2010. To be quite frank, it is the largest run since 1938. Even if they are slightly off on the predictions we will still receive a huge return that should equate to lots of angling opportunity for those that like to fish this fishery. As far as what the sports season will be, we will just have to wait and see how things are divided up. With this size of return, when the seasons are announced I would not hesitate to make arrangements for your camp spot, moorage or motel accommodations.

I will post more when we hear any additional information.
