FISHING – Spring chinook salmon fishing will close on the Grande Ronde River at Sunset on Sunday.

he Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife announced the closure on Wednesday after determining the southeastern Washington river “is experiencing extremely low flows and increasing water temperatures that may affect survival of Endangered Species Act listed fish handled during this fishery.”
The action closes the Grande Ronde to salmon fishing from the mouth of Buford Creek a half mile downstream of the Highway 129 Bridge at Boggan’s Oasis upstream to the Washington-Oregon state line.
