You know me…I like good fishery news when I hear it and here’s one Oregon salmon anglers will be stoked about: The lower Deschutes River will remain open for Chinook salmon fishing through Oct. 31 under a temporary rule adopted by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

The river is currently open for spring chinook fishing. The spring chinook fishing ends July 31, and the fall chinook season will open Aug. 1 under the newly-adopted rule.

(Jack salmon are Chinook 15-24 inches long.)
