We have pretty decent runs in most of the coastal rivers and tributaries of the Columbia. Sea lions have been wreaking havoc below the first dam on the Columbia, with several finding their way into the ladder. USFW has been hazing with rubber bullets with some success. The run was a bit late as well, prompting the closure of fishing on the Columbia and some of the up river tribs. The Tillamook Anglers Ass took over one of the state hatcheries in the Tillamook area and have done an excellent job of providing clipped fish opportunities in many of the rivers at the coast. There are also some summer run Chinook that take us into August and some of the Fall fish begin to arrive in Sept.
