Rivers in Columbia County
Snake River
Touchet River
Touchet River: Plants of catchable-size rainbow trout are uncertain this year and in the future in this Walla Walla River tributary. If hatchery fish are planted, it will only be downstream of the confluence of the North and South forks to protect wild trout. Check with the WDFW regional office in Spokane for more information. Special restrictions are in effect in some portions of the river to protect wild fish reproduction; check the regulations pamphlet.
Tucannon River
Tucannon River: Plants of catchable-size rainbow trout are uncertain this year and in the future. Because of threatened species concerns, if any hatchery trout and steelhead are stocked it will be well downstream of the hatchery (at or below Marengo). Check with the WDFW regional office in Spokane for more information. Special restrictions are in effect in some portions to protect wild salmon and steelhead reproduction; check the current regulations pamphlet for details. The Tucannon River is closed to all salmon fishing, and all Tucannon tributaries except Pataha Creek are closed to fishing of any kind.
