Readings come from USGS monitoring location 14144700, COLUMBIA RIVER AT VANCOUVER, WA, 57.0 miles from the center of Columbia River. It reports turbidity, gage height and discharge. Values refresh every 30 minutes and are provisional until the agency reviews them. Gauge readings describe the river at that point; conditions upstream and downstream will differ.
Fish Club protects exact catch locations by default. Records show the waterbody — never an angler's GPS pin.
Anglers must hold a valid fishing license for the state they're fishing. Always follow your local fishing rules and regulations. Handle fish with speed and care: wet hands, minimal air time, quick release.
