Spring Chinook fishing opens on the Hood River, April 15th. Fishery managers predict a higher return than last year - in that waterway. But, O-D-F-W’s Michelle Dennehy says that’s not the case, everywhere.  "Unfortunately, there’s not going to be a Spring Chinook season on the Deschutes, this year. We have another year of poor returns for both hatchery and particularly wild fish, to the Warm Springs River. This happens periodically; the last time we had a season on the Deschutes was in 2018. She says the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is even more concerned about summer steelhead on the Deschutes. They closed steelhead fishing last year, for the first time since the 1970s. ODFW is taking public feedback, as the agency determines future summer steelhead management on The Deschutes. An online survey https://oregonstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bJYqhcM8W5y1Ne6  is available until Monday (4/11). A webinar to continue the discussion is scheduled for April 19th: https://www.youtube.com/user/IEODFW  . Survey: https://www.dfw.state.or.us/news/2022/03_Mar/032422.asp
