Clatsop County news briefs for Aug. 25, 2026

Clatsop County posted local updates for Aug. 25, 2026, including revised rules for the Buoy 10 Chinook fishery at the mouth of the Columbia River. After an early-season “lights out” period, managers from Oregon and Washington adjusted regulations from Aug. 25 through Sept. 2, when Chinook retention is scheduled to close. The fishery remains mark selective for Chinook, with only hatchery Chinook and hatchery coho allowed for retention during the period. The brief also lists catch-rate context, saying 2026 levels have surpassed large fall Chinook years from 2013–15 for the same timeframe. A traffic alert warns of U.S. 30 pavement repairs in Astoria from Monday Aug. 24 to Wednesday Aug. 26.
