Central regulations, Columbia River

[portlandrain]

The regs for bass read:

Lakes: Open all year.

Streams: Open
during trout, salmon
or steelhead seasons
only, except portions
of Columbia River
tributaries flooded by
Bonneville and The
Dalles dams are open all year.

How far do those dams flood though? If I'm fishing back water areas along I84 around Hood River and further up near the Deschutes, is this ok?

Thanks in advance

As long as you dont cross the RR tracks a big fine,you can cross them where a road crosses them however!

So by not cross the tracks, you mean stay on the river side (north side) of them?

North or South it doesn't matter. It's simple. Don't cross the tracks to access your fishing locations. Railroad cops are feisty.

Oh I see, it has nothing to do with fishing, just with being on the tracks.
