Hanford Reach Salmon Fishery
Still a slow start for the season. Some reports of fish being caught at the mouth of the Yakima River. Fish passage increased at Mcnary last week and fish seem to be hanging out in the Richland area. 18 Anglers were creeled this week with 1 fish caught. Creel was conducted at Vernita, Wahluke, and Ringold. There was a small amount of bank anglers at Ringold this week with no catches reported.
