Fishing on Columbia in jeopardy:


Friday, April 07, 2006
Oregon and Washington will allow sport fishing on the Columbia River through early next week, but the states will decide Tuesday whether to end fishing Thursday night.
Water temperatures and fish counts have risen at Bonneville Dam in recent days, easing some concerns that the 2006 spring chinook salmon run would reprise the disastrous overestimation of 2005's return.
It's still too early, biologists said, to know the accuracy of this year's prediction of 88,400 salmon.
