As of Monday, state biologist Joe Hymer in the Vancouver office said the agency was still waiting to check the first sport-caught spring chinook of the year on the lower Columbia (below I-5).
Hymer also reported that returns of winter steelhead to hatcheries on lower Columbia tributaries are generally higher than last year at this point in the season: Cowlitz, 2,189 fish compared to 1,630 last year; and Elochoman, 1,453 compared to 266 last year.
