I would bet a latte that the fishery will be suspended within 1 week:

1. The sport impact reserved for the Columbia River below Bonneville is 0.8%, out of a total sport impact of 1.2% for the entire Columbia River. 0.4% is reserved for sport fishing above Bonneville. See details here: http://wdfw.wa.gov/fish/crc/crc21apr04fact.pdf

2. As of April 18, the total sport fishery impact based on the preseason run size forecast was 0.535%, or 2/3 of the available 0.8%.

3. There were a zillion boats hammering the lower river this past weekend.
