Description

The year's first official Willamette hatchery spring salmon was landed Tuesday above Sellwood Bridge by Dave Pyle of West Linn, right, in a boat captained by John Shmilenko of Jennings Lodge, left.

A day after the first official legal Willamette River spring chinook salmon of 2026 was landed, Oregon and Washington managers approved an early spring season for the lower Columbia River, two days longer than last year’s initial opening.
