Popcorn- Go Fishing For Cash

Like fishing?  Like cash?  For five months this spring and summer, you’ll have a chance to indulge yourself in both.  Northern Pikeminnow eat millions of salmon and steelhead each year in the Columbia and Snake rivers.  The Pikeminnow Sport Reward Fishery Program is aimed at reducing the number and size of these predators.  From May 1 to Sept. 30, you can earn $4 to $8 per fish for every fish over 9” long.  There are even specially tagged fish worth $500!  You can get all the details including rules and maps of the covered area at pikeminnow.org.
