The buoy 10 fishery has been fair to good for coho recently, and there are still a few late chinook moving upriver. Checks last weekend showed 31 adult chinook and 131 fin-clipped coho kept, plus 15 chinook and 96 wild coho released for 290 anglers.
Best fishing on the lower river is in the Gorge, below Bonneville Dam, where last weekend’s checks showed 50 fall chinook adults and six jacks for 120 anglers. Some 25 bank anglers in the same area had five adult kings and one jack.
