OutdoorHub 09.16.11
Action: The previously adopted Oct. 8 through Dec. 31 white sturgeon retention fishery above Wauna has been modified to include three additional days of white sturgeon retention.

Species affected: White sturgeon
Location: The Columbia River and adjacent Washington tributaries from the Wauna power lines (near Cathlamet) upstream to Bonneville Dam.
Reason for action: Sufficient numbers of harvestable white sturgeon remain on the guideline for the Columbia River above the Wauna power lines, providing for additional opportunity for white sturgeon retention in this area.
