Anglers in the lower Columbia River caught nearly twice that number in March and April and neared the limiting number that is calculated to protect upriver fish before fishing downstream of the dam ended April 23. And river managers said May 2 they are also allowing angling to end in the area upstream of Bonneville Dam to the I-395 Bridge. “Unfortunately, this is the lowest cumulative c...

To The Eagle: In addition to the remarks about environmental concerns, the most outstanding benefit of the 'drug take-back box' at the county courthouse, to my mind, is getting potentially dangerous drugs away from children and those unable to realize the difference between pharmaceuticals and candy, or other attempts to mimic adults around them. No drugs, no problem. Thanks to Gary Howell and the Sheriff’s Office staff for carrying this project through to completion. Craig Brown Cathlamet...

PRETTY DAMP--After a gorgeous day last Friday, which saw temperatures climb clear up to 70 degrees, the weekend was nothing at all like that! We were back to the rain and the gloom and the doom and some windy moments as well! The only thing I can say about it is that it certainly saved me from feeling guilty about not doing any yardwork, as it was definitely more of a book reading, movie watching, inside kind of day! I hear that we might wind up with a bit of decent weather this weekend, but when they say "three days" of sun, or partial sun,...
