KENNEWICK — Dead white sturgeon have been spotted floating in the Columbia River as water has warmed to higher than the historic summer average.

The Washington state and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife have closed much of the river to sturgeon fishing starting Saturday.

About two dozen dead sturgeon have been seen floating in the John Day pool, with more in the McNary pool, the Hanford Reach and The Dalles pool, according to Washington state Department of Fish and Wildlife.
