“We know it’s short notice, but the eulachon smelt will not be present for long.”
For the first time since 2015, people will be allowed to catch smelt on Oregon’s Sandy River. The season, such as it is, will run for seven hours on Thursday, March 30, and it was announced two days in advance.
Once the officials realized the smelt numbers were high enough to allow a Sandy River fishery for the first time in almost a decade, they had to clear it with biologists who oversee the release of Chinook salmon smolts. If the young salmon were in the river at the same time, smelt fishing could not be allowed.
The season will run from noon to 7 p.m. Thursday on a five-mile stretch of the Sandy, from the Stark Street Bridge near Troutdale to where the river empties into the Columbia a few miles east of Portland.
