Sport salmon fishing will reopen Saturday on the lower Columbia River from Tongue Point to Bonneville Dam and will include the retention of fall chinook and coho salmon.

Oregon and Washington met by telephone late Wednesday and said enough protected fish have cleared the area to allow the resumption of sport seasons.

From Buoy 10 to Tongue Point, three salmon are allowed. All coho must be hatchery and only one chinook, hatchery or wild, is allowed.

From Tongue Point to Bonneville Dam, the daily limit is two adult salmon, but also only one chinook and only hatchery coho are allowed.

Anglers are still waiting for late-season coho to enter the lower river.
