  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Effects of Villwok's Ford on Native and Exotic Fishes of Rickreall Creek Abstract -- Rickreall Creek is a 4th order tributary of the Willamette River in Polk County, Oregon (Mattson and Gallagher 2001). Previous fish sampling had indicated a high percentage of exotic fishes in the lower portion of the creek (Altman 1997) and in an upstream reservoir (Chastain et. al. 2002). However, within the mainstem, exotic fishes (with the exception of planted juvenile coho) are absent above Villwok's Ford, the lowermost barrier on the creek at about river km 12.7 (Chastain et. al. 2002). A 1995 CH2MHill survey noted the ford was a culvert and not passable while Mattson and Gallagher (2001) found water flowing over the ford and fish passage "appeared possible". Because the ford appears to violate Oregon statutes regarding fish passage at man-made barriers, but may paradoxically provide benefits by excluding exotic fishes, we initiated a study of the ford and of a variety of fishes to determine the seasons and conditions during which the ford was a barrier to fish passage.

The Department is charged by statute (ORS 506.036) to protect and propagate fish in the state. This includes direct responsibility for regulating harvest of fish, protection of fish, enhancement of fish populations tlu·ough habitat improvement, and the rearing and release offish into public waters. ODFW maintains hatcheries throughout the state to provide fish for program needs. Operation of these facilities is governed by the following: The Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds, a comprehensive plan for the conservation of salmon and the protection of their habitat which coordinates the actions of all state agencies that affect aquatic resources. The Native Fish Conservation Policy, which provides a basis for managing hatcheries in balance with sustainable production of naturally produced native fish. The Fish Hatchery Management Policy, which provides general fish culture and facility guidelines and measures to maintain genetic resources of native fish populations spawned or reared in captivity. The Fish Health Management Policy, which describes measures that minimize the impact of fish diseases on the state's fish resources. Information about the Oregon Plan can be viewed at http://www.oregon-plan.org. The complete texts of the Fish Hatchery Management Policy, the Native Fish Conservation Policy, and the Fish Health Management Policy may be viewed at http://www.dfw.state.or.us/fish/nfcp/.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Status of Wild Coho Salmon Passing Marmot Dam, Sandy River 1992 Abstract -- The number of wild coho salmon counted at Marmot Dam on the Sandy River has declined from an average annual return of 1,444 fish in 1960-66 to an average annual return of only 129 fish in 1987-91. In contrast, the total escapement of coho salmon has remained virtually unchanged, averaging 1,447 fish in 1987-91, reflecting an increase in hatchery fish returns. Wild fish currently compose 8.9% of the coho salmon counted at Marmot Dam. A shift in peak time of arrival in November in 1960-66 to a peak time of arrival in October in subsequent years is indicative of the increase in early-run hatchery fish and commensurate decline of late-run wild fish in the run. The loss in production of wild fish is likely the result of competition and introgression with.hatchery fish that have been extensively transplanted above Marmot Dam since 1964.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A Plan for Reintroduction of Anadromous Fish in the Upper Klamath Basin 2008 Abstract -- The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission (OFWC) has adopted statewide species plans for Chinook and coho salmon, steelhead, trout, and warmwater gamefish. These plans guide the development of localized plans for species management units, and individual river basins. A fish management plan was adopted by the OFWC in 1997 for the Klamath River Basin. Basin fish management plans serve several functions. They present a logical, systematic approach to conserving our aquatic resources; establish management priorities, and direct attention to the most critical problems affecting our fisheries. In November 2002, the OFWC adopted the Native Fish Conservation Policy (NFCP) that calls for development of conservation plans for each species management unit to ensure conservation and recovery of native fishes in Oregon. Intent of the NFCP is to provide a basis for managing hatcheries, fisheries, habitat, predators, competitors, and pathogens in balance with sustainable production of naturally produced native fish. The policy has three areas of emphasis. The first is defensive, to ensure avoidance of serious depletion of native fish. The second is more proactive, to restore and maintain native fish at levels providing ecological and societal benefits. The third area of emphasis ensures that, consist with native fish conservation, opportunities for fisheries and other societal resource uses are not unnecessarily constrained. The NFCP acknowledges that basin fish management plans will provide fish management guidance until conservation plans can be completed.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Upper Deschutes River Fish Management Plan - Draft Abstract -- The Upper Deschutes River Fish Management Plan provides information on habitat, fish management, location and ownership, fish stocking history, angling regulations, management issues and management alternatives. In the Habitat and Fish Management sections of the following discussion, the Deschutes River will be divided into two sections; Wickiup Dam to Benham Falls, and Benham Falls to Bend (North Canal Dam). The reason for this is based on stream morphology and changes in fish populations. Benham Falls is a high gradient natural cascade which separates the Deschutes River into two logical sections with low gradient above the falls and high gradient below. Similarly, fish population composition changes at Benham Falls with brown trout dominant above and rainbow trout dominant below. The remaining sections; location and ownership, fish stocking history, angling regulations, management issues, summary of alternatives and alternatives will be presented as (1) Deschutes River, and (2) Tributaries.

The Oregon Trout Plan and Warmwater Fish Management Plan, give the direction for trout and warmwater management in basin plans as well as in plans for individual rivers and standing water bodies. Hyatt Lake is a 957 acre irrigation impoundment located 21 miles East of Ashland on the Cascade divide at an elevation of 5,016 feet. The reservoir was built in 1923 to store 16,900 acre-feet of water for irrigation use in the Medford area by the Talent Irrigation District (TID). Early in 1989, a Hyatt Lake Management Advisory Committee was created. Included were landowners, agency personnel, sportsmen's club members, legislators and other interested individuals. The group agreed that the lake should again be chemically treated to eliminate bullheads in order to pursue trout, warmwater fishes, or a combination of warmwater and trout. No management direction other than brown bullheads appeared feasible to the committee in the absence of treatment.

The stream was stocked with hatchery fish in the past but is being managed for wild fish now. It presently receives light angling pressure, but this will probably increase. There are no special angling restrictions. Maintenance of water quality, summertime streamflows, riparian vegetation, and prevention of stream channel alterations are key elements in protecting the capability of this stream to sustain natural production of all salmonids.

We conducted work in five subject areas. First, we helped identify geographic boundaries of coastal wild steelhead populations. Secondly, we defined the magnitude of hatchery straying and the origin of these strays in coastal populations. Third, we determined the percentage of hatchery fish that spawned with wild fish in selected coastal rivers and looked at methods managers could use to monitor this percentage. Fourth, we compared the performance of returns from local brood stock with that from transplanted brood stock that had been used for hatchery programs in the past. Finally, we evaluated the use of an acclimation period to attract returning hatchery adults to a collection site and the use of sterilization to prevent hatchery fish from interbreeding with wild fish.

The. river is not stocked but various ages and sizes of hatchery fish emigrate from Prineville Reservoir during periods of spill; and these fish constitute a sizable portion of the trout population in the river. The Crooked River has maintained a successful fishery on the combination of wild and hatchery (from Prinevi11e Reservoir) trout under general statewide regulations. In July 1979, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to continue to manage this portion of Crooked River for wild and hatchery fish. Hatchery fish will not be stocked in this section of the river, but large numbers of hatchery trout migrate from Prineville Reservoir into the river below the dam.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fish Management Plan Elk Creek (Ecola Creek) Abstract -- Elk Creek (Ecola Creek) is a small Pacific Ocean tributary at Cannon Beach. It contains 17 miles of fish production stream, including 0.5 mile of tidal area, and produces resident and anadromous cutthroat, winter steelhead, and coho salmon. Steelhead and coho have never been stocked; hatchery yearling cutthroat were released prior to 1974. The forks are closed to salmon and steelhead fishing to protect spawning fish. Good basic information is available for Elk Creek because data on cutthroat trout and coho salmon populations have been collected as part of a Department study of streamflow requirements. Maintenance of water quality, summertime streamflows, riparian vegetation, and prevention of stream channel alterations are key elements in protecting the capability of this stream to sustain natural production of all salmonids. In July 1979, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to continue to manage Elk Creek for wild fish of all species.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fish Management Plan Drift Creek 1976 Abstract -- Drift Creek is being managed for wild fish. Good, basic information for management is available because data on cutthroat, steelhead, and coho salmon populations have been collected since 1959 as part of the Alsea Watershed Study. Drift Creek enters Alsea Bay at RM 3. It contains approximately 58 miles of fish production water and produces fair populations of resident cutthroat and good numbers of anadromous cutthroat, winter steelhead, and coho and chinook salmon. Fish have not been regularly stocked in Drift Creek, but all four species are released into the Alsea. The main stem of Drift Creek above Bohannon Falls is closed to salmon and steelhead fishing to protect spawning fish. Maintenance of water quality, summertime streamflows, riparian vegetation, and prevention of stream channel alterations are key elements in protecting the capability of this stream to sustain natural production of all salmonids. In July 1979, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to manage Drift Creek for wild trout and steelhead. ·It was also decided to continue managing salmon by relying on natural production until we develop a coast-wide salmon management plan. At that time, staff biologists will decide on a final recommendation to the Fish and Wildlife Commission regarding the need or desirability for releasing hatchery salmon in the system.

The system contains about 950 miles of stream and produces resident and anadromous cutthroat trout,winter steelhead, and coho and fall chinook salmon. Small numbers of spring chinook are found in the system and shad and striped bass are also present. Good numbers of wild fish of all species are produced in the Siuslaw and ODFW annually releases sea-run cutthroat and winter steelhead. Extensive fisheries have developed on this combination of wild and hatchery fish. There are no special angling regulations in effect at present other than an angling deadline on Lake Creek. Three private salmon hatcheries have received permits to release fish into the Siuslaw. Although these facilities have not yet obtained significant returns of adults, the potential exists for large numbers of hatchery adults to return to the system. In July 1979, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to manage the Siuslaw River system, except for Triangle Lake and its tributaries, for wild and hatchery trout, steelhead, and salmon. Hatchery fish will be released in areas and at sizes and times to maximize their contribution to the sport fisheries in the system and to minimize their impact on the extensive wild fish populations present. Trout populations in Triangle Lake and its tributaries will be managed for wild fish.

With tremendous private cooperation, fish passage information was gathered for all but a handful of artificial barriers known in the Clear and Foster Creek basins during the course of this project. A total of 223 potential artificial barriers were evaluated. In the Clear and Foster Creek Basin there are a total of 159 barriers on fish bearing streams. Of these 159 crossings: 81 had verified fish passage blockage to some degree based on methods described in this report. Of these 81 crossings, 27 had complete blockages and 54 had partial blockages. Of the 81 blockages, 34 are on streams that are thought to have anandromous fish species use. We determined the cost to fix the 81 potential blockages to fish passage. The proposed fixes include bridges, open bottom culverts and slabs, and closed bottom culverts that are embedded to imitate natural streambed conditions. We prioritized crossings using a formula developed specifically for the Clear and Foster basin.

It also provides the primary focus for developing subsidiary management plans for individual subbasins. The management goals, status of the stocks, planning definitions, and administrative guidelines constraining the planning process are described or documented in developing the plan. The plan applies four fundamental concepts on wild fish, stocks, stock-recruitment relationships, and habitat requirements as underlying principles required for prudent management of anadromous fish resources. The concepts and their role in the planning effort are documented. Various economic goals and associated problems are described to attain efficient and equitable utilization of anadromous fish resources by harvesters and to satisfy the broader concerns of society in managing the stocks.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Burnt River Basin Master Plan for Angler Access and Associated Recreational Uses 1966 Abstract -- The Burnt River headwaters are found along the southwestern Baker County line. The North, South, and Middle Forks join at Unity Reservoir about five miles north of the town of Unity. Below Unity Dam, the river makes its way through the Burnt River Valley. The 63.5 miles of the main river below Unity Dam is heavily infested with rough fish. To produce a good fishery, the river would need rehabilitation that would include: 1) Chemical treatment of the river and tributaries to remove the rough fish population. 2) Reintroduction of suitable fish species. 3) Construction of a barrier at downstream end to prevent upstream migration of rough fish from lower impoundments; e.g., Brownlee Reservoir. With the removal of rough fish, trout and warm-water game fish could be established and would produce good angling. At present, the trout fishery is confined to Unity Reservoir and the area directly below the dam. Trout angling on the forks of the system is limited and restricted to the early spring. Warm-water game fish are taken in the lower river in early spring.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Biological Assessment of the Impacts to Wild Winter Steelhead on the Umpqua River from the Recreational Fishery and 2004 Angling Regulation Proposals Abstract -- Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations allow winter steelhead angling in all the Umpqua River Basin, which includes Smith River, the mainstem Umpqua River, North Umpqua River, and South Umpqua River (Figure 1.) Each sub-basin is unique with management of hatchery and wild winter steelhead, and thus these sub-basins vary with angling regulations. Winter steelhead angling in the Smith River allows harvest of adipose finclipped fish only from mid-November through the end of March. Hatchery fish are no longer released in the Smith River. The South Umpqua River and Cow Creek have the same regulation to protect wild fish, but annual releases of South Umpqua Hatchery fish occur. Angling regulations on the mainstem of the Umpqua River for winter steelhead is open year around, and requires all non-adipose fin-clipped steelhead to be released unharmed. The North Umpqua River is also open all year, but for the-months of January 1st through April 30th , non-adipose fin-clipped steelhead (wild) may be harvested (1 wild fish per day and no more than 5 wild fish per year.) The harvest of non-adipose winter steelhead on the North Umpqua River began in 1997. Table 1 depicts the winter steelhead regulations as previously described.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Thomas Creek Mainstem Assessment Completion Report Abstract -- This project expands upon a year 2000 project (OWEB 99-543) that was designed to examine riparian and water quality impacts on aquatic invertebrate assemblages and fish diet in Thomas Creek. The initial project design was to sample water quality, fish, and invertebrates at nine sites along 30 river kilometers (R kms) of the stream; three in conifer dominated, three in mixed forest, and three in hardwood dominated riparian forest. Preliminary results suggested water quality conditions were similar throughout the 30 R kms and riparian vegetation composition was not associated with fish diet or invertebrate assemblage composition. Longitudinal patterns were weak and appeared to be driven by three upstream sites. Therefore we proposed to expand the survey area to include the entire stream open to anadromous fish migration (51 R kms). The fish diet portion of the project was discontinued because we were denied a sampling permit for ESA listed salmonids during 2001. Instead, we focused on broad-scale fish distribution and habitat use. Additionally, we compared patterns for fish with invertebrates. The extent of fish, invertebrate, and water quality sampling locations increased to include all 51 R kms downstream of the waterfall. An extensive fish survey to examine fish distribution included 218 survey locations throughout the 51 R kms. Intensive snorkel surveys to examine fine-scale, habitat use by salmonids included four sample locations in the upstream 14 R kms. Invertebrate samples were collected from three habitat types at 27 sites to examine distribution and habitat use along the 51 R kms Title: Thomas Creek Mainstem Assessment Completion Report Abstract -- This project expands upon a year 2000 project (OWEB 99-543) that was designed to examine riparian and water quality impacts on aquatic invertebrate assemblages and fish diet in Thomas Creek.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Draft - Trout and Warm Water Fish Running Waters Abstract -- Running Waters: Running waters include the main Rogue, Applegate, and Illinois rivers, and all associated tributary streams in the Rogue River basin. Historical information on trout in the Rogue River basin was summarized by Cole M. Rivers (in press) prior to 1962. Cutthroat and downstream migrating steelhead were abundant and easily caught from streams all through the settled portions of the basin. There was no need to take a trip away from home to fish for trout. Angling for trout was not thought of as a recreational pastime until the 1930s. The headwaters of the Applegate and Illinois rivers, and Jumpoff Joe and Grave creeks were preferred for trout fishing because of the easy access provided by mining roads. The California-Oregon Power Company provided access to trout fishing waters in the Prospect region as early as 1912. The completion of the Crater Lake and Diamond Lake highways in 1927 allowed access to the upper Rogue River and its tributaries. Access to other parts of the basin was provided when foot and wagon trails were made into roads by crews of the Civil Conservation Corps in the 1930's. Most natural lakes were devoid of fish life until they were stocked by miners or cattlemen who wanted a supply of trout close to their camps. Fish Lake was one of the first impoundments preferred for sport fishing because of good cattle trails leading from the Bear creek Valley into the area. Anglers were packed in by cattlemen after the dam was built in 1898. Other impoundments providing good trout fishing in the 1920s included Emigrant Lake which received heavy pressure. Many lakes were barren of fish life until rainbow, eastern brook, or cutthroat were packed in by private parties, the Forest Service, or the Oregon Game Commission in the 1920s. Prospectors and early settlers stocked some of the lakes earlier with fish that had been collected or salvaged from creeks that were drying up. There are no records of the unofficial introductions, and those of the Game Commission burned in a fire in 1936. Table 1 lists the liberations of trout recorded by the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries from 1907 to 1940.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Oregon Fish Passage Barriers Abstract -- The Oregon Fish Passage Barrier Data Standard (OFPBDS) dataset contains barriers to fish passage in Oregon watercourses. Barriers include the following types of natural or artificial structures: bridges, cascades, culverts, dams, debris jams, fords, natural falls, tide gates, and weirs. The OFPBDS dataset does not include structures which are not associated with in-stream features (such as dikes, levees or berms). Barriers are structures which do, or potentially may, impede fish movement and migration. Barriers can be known to cause complete or partial blockage to fish passage, or they can be completely passable, or they may have an unknown passage status. This dataset complies with version 1.1 of the OFBPDS data standard. New optional attributes have been added to describe fish passage barrier feature modifications, to describe supplementary information (via a comments field) and also to linear reference the barrier features to the National Hydrography Dataset. The OFPBDS dataset now contains over 40,000 barrier features from 19 separate sources including: Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), Oregon Department of Water Resources (OWRD), Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF), Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB), Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) US Bureau of Land Management (BLM), US Forest Service, Nez Perce Tribe, Benton SWCD, Washington county, Lower Columbia River Estuary Partnership and watershed councils representing the Rogue, Umpqua, Siuslaw, Santiam, Calapooia, Clackamas and Scapoose basins. The Data Steward obtained fish passage barrier data from multiple data originators between 2008 and 2015, collaborated with them to develop inclusion / exclusion criteria and dataset specific crosswalks for converting data from its original data structure to the structure of the OFPBDS. The data were then converted into the OFPBDS format and analyzed for duplication with existing OFPBDS barrier features. Where duplicates were identified, depending upon the scenario, one feature was either chosen over the other or in some cases attributes from different sources are combined. Source information is retained for each feature. The data were then loaded into the OFPBDS database. Barrier features were linear referenced (Framework Hydro only which is outside of the standard) and the corresponding optional attribute elements were populated. The data conversion, duplication reconciliation and linear referencing protocols are documented in the Oregon Fish Passage Barrier Data Management Plan. A separate dataset containing fish passage barrier features that have been completely removed or replaced (e.g. dam removals and culvert replacements) is published simultaneously with the OFPBDS dataset. The OFPBDS database is the most comprehensive compilation of fish passage barrier information in Oregon however, it does NOT represent a complete and current record of every fish passage barrier within the state. Efforts to address deficiencies in data currency, completeness and accuracy are ongoing and are often limited by lack of sufficient resources. Attributes (including key attributes such as fish passage status) are often unknown or incomplete. Consistency in attribution also varies among data originators. Field verification of barrier features and their attributes will be an important component to making this dataset current, comprehensive and accurate. Fish passage status is a key attribute. Many barrier features have an unknown passage status. For other features, the passage status may have changed since it was originally documented. Note that this metadata file is best viewed in ArcCatalog.

It has been particularly problematic in captive broodstock programs, where the interests of gene conservation and fish health can conflict when spawning females with signs of BKD. Not rearing those fish reduces the genetic diversity of an already depleted population, while rearing those fish may increase the prevalence of BKD in the natural population.

It is owned by the Summer Lake Irrigation District and was created in 1922 by construction of an earthen dam just downstream from a group of springs that formed Ana River. Various trout management programs have been tried at Ana Reservoir, but maintenance of an acceptable fishery has required periodic chemical treatment to reduce competition from tui chubs. In July 1981, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to introduce a new fish species (striped X white bass hybrid) into the reservoir. This is a good game fish, which will utilize chubs as forage.

It has a maximum depth of 283 ft and is 4 mi long and 1 mi wide. The Wallowa River flows into and out of the lake. Road access to the lake is via a paved highway. Cabins and resorts are present and a large state park exists on the south end of the lake. The lake receives heavy recreation use (swimming, fishing, boating) during the summer. The Wallowa River was a prime spawning area for Columbia River sockeye salmon about the turn of the century. By 1915, however, sightings of adult sockeye in the Wallowa River system were rare due to construction of Wallowa Lake Dam, exploitation of the species, and fish losses through unscreened irrigation diversions. In September 1980, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to continue to manage Wallowa Lake for wild and hatchery fish.

Until recently the stock of winter steelhead for the Siuslaw hatchery program was the Alsea stock raised at Alsea Hatchery. In recent years several concerns have surfaced regarding the appropriateness of using Alsea stock steelhead in the Siuslaw basin. It was observed that large numbers of hatchery fish were spawning with wild fish. The concern was that hatchery steelhead were poorly adapted to the wild environment. It was also learned that large numbers of hatchery steelhead released in the Siuslaw basin strayed to other smaller coastal tributaries such as the Yachats River, Tenmile Creek and Cape Creek. Both these issues caused the Siuslaw winter steelhead hatchery program to be out of compliance with the ODFW Wild Fish Management Policy(WFMP). The WFMP sets guidelines for hatchery programs to protect the genetic integrity of wild fish populations.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Angler Surveyor Procedures Manual 2004; Willamette Salmonid Inventory Project Abstract -- The Willamette Salmonid Inventory Project is charged with the task of monitoring the status of naturally produced and hatchery produced salmonid stocks. One important aspect of this monitoring effort is an estimate of fish that are caught in recreational fisheries. State and Federal fishery managers use the results of these surveys to manage Oregon's fisheries resources. The goal of the river creels is to estimate effort and catch of marked and unmarked spring chinook, steelhead, and young salmonids, including catchable rainbow, cutthroat and juvenile chinook and steelhead. The basic approach is a roving creel in which the sampler travels up and down the river interviewing bank anglers and boat anglers as they are encountered. The sampler queries anglers about catch numbers, catch composition, time spent fishing and other auxiliary information. At assigned times during the sampled day; the sampler travels the length of the river counting boat trailers (without boats), individual bank anglers at some locations, and cars at other locations. The goal of these counts is to estimate the number of people fishing at a given time. The goal of the Foster Reservoir creel survey is to estimate angler effort and catch of juvenile winter steelhead and trout throughout the year. The fishery has been surveyed at a reduced level of sampling effort during the winter and is now ramped up to a full time sampler. The basic approach is similar to that for the river creels. The results of these surveys are used in a variety of ways: 1. They allow us to assess how well the hatchery programs are serving the public by giving an estimate of how many hatchery-produced fish are caught. 2. By combining creel data with counts at fish ladders and hatchery traps, we can construct a more reliable estimate of how many fish return to sub-basins of the Upper Willamette. 3. Creel data help us to evaluate the effectiveness of the hatcheries’ recycling programs. 4. Data on how many naturally-produced (unmarked) fish are caught and released allow us to estimate mortality for naturally-produced fish. 5. Coded wire tag data are also used in making estimates of run size, and give information on the origin and stray rates of hatchery fish in the fishery.

The Sandy basin is situated in Multnomah and Clackamas counties (EPA reach 17080001), and drains approximately 508 square miles. The Sandy River basin is comprised of several subbasins, many of which are uniquely distinct hydrologically and geomorphologically. Principle tributaries include the Zigzag River, Still Creek, and the Salmon River in the upper basin and the Bull Run River, Gordon, Cedar, and Beaver creeks in the lower basin. Many other smaller tributaries located throughout the basin contribute significantly to stream flows and provide habitat for a wide array of fish and wildlife assemblages. The Sandy River is well known for its sport fishing. Winter steelhead, summer steelhead, and spring chinook are the most sought after species. Both winter and summer steelhead, coho, and spring chinook are supplemented with hatchery produced fish. Rainbow trout and fall chinook are no longer stocked in flowing waters of the Sandy River basin. In the late 1980's the Northwest Power Planning Council administered a planning process to create a management plan for the Columbia River basin. As a part of that process, a subbasin plan concerning management of steelhead and salmon was written for the Sandy River basin. This document, the draft "Sandy River Basin Fish Management Plan", significantly expands on the Northwest Power Planning Council document by adding resident fish species and new information on anadromous species and will ultimately produce the final plan used to guide fish resource management in the basin for the next 5 to 10 years.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fish Management Plan Yachats River, 1979 Abstract -- The Yachats River is a moderate-sized tributary to the Pacific Ocean containing 55 stream miles and a small estuary. This is an excellent small system that is not stocked with hatchery fish since the habitat is capable of producing a good population of wild fish. The stream receives light angling pressure; but we believe this will increase and more restrictive angling regulations may eventually be needed, although none are necessary now. The Yachats produces resident and anadromous cutthroat trout, fall Chinook and coho salmon, and winter steelhead. Releases of hatchery steelhead were terminated in 1969; cutthroat trout in 1978; and the only known release of salmon was made in 1958. There are no special angling regulations in effect at present. Maintenance of water quality, summertime streamflows, riparian vegetation, and prevention of stream channel alterations are key elements in protecting the capability of this stream to sustain natural production of al] salmonids. In July 1979, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the following Department recommendations: The Yachats River will be managed for wild trout. The Yachats River will be managed for wild steelhead for the immediate future. However, if ODFW determines that steelheaders are opposed to this option, the Fish and Wildlife Commission will consider authorizing the release of hatchery smolts to enhance the fishery. The choice of a management option for salmon will be deferred until a coast-wide salmon management plan is developed. At that time, staff biologists will decide on a final recommendation to the Fish and Wildlife Commission regarding the need or desirability for releasing hatchery salmon into the system. Title: Fish Management Plan Yachats River, 1979 Abstract -- The Yachats River is a moderate-sized tributary to the Pacific Ocean containing 55 stream miles and a small estuary. This is an excellent small system that is not stocked with hatchery fish since the habitat is capable of producing a good population of wild fish. The stream receives light angling pressure; but we believe this will increase and more restrictive angling regulations may eventually be needed, although none are necessary now. The Yachats produces resident and anadromous cutthroat trout, fall Chinook and coho salmon, and winter steelhead. Releases of hatchery steelhead were terminated in 1969; cutthroat trout in 1978; and the only known release of salmon was made in 1958. There are no special angling regulations in effect at present. Maintenance of water quality, summertime streamflows, riparian vegetation, and prevention of stream channel alterations are key elements in protecting the capability of this stream to sustain natural production of al] salmonids. In July 1979, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the following Department recommendations: The Yachats River will be managed for wild trout. The Yachats River will be managed for wild steelhead for the immediate future. However, if ODFW determines that steelheaders are opposed to this option, the Fish and Wildlife Commission will consider authorizing the release of hatchery smolts to enhance the fishery. The choice of a management option for salmon will be deferred until a coast-wide salmon management plan is developed. At that time, staff biologists will decide on a final recommendation to the Fish and Wildlife Commission regarding the need or desirability for releasing hatchery salmon into the system. Close

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Willamette Biological Opinion Hatchery Research 2010 Annual Report Abstract -- Task 1.1: Distribution, Abundance, and Proportion of Hatchery and Natural-Origin Chinook Salmon: Counts of spring Chinook redds were similar in 2010 compared to the 2002–2009 averages for the Middle Fork Willamette, McKenzie and the North Santiam rivers and significantly higher in the South Santiam River Preliminary analyses indicate that the proportions of hatchery fish recovered as carcasses from the spawning grounds varied significantly among all four surveyed sub-basins (South Santiam > M. Fork Willamette > North Santiam > McKenzie) Task 1.2: Monitor fin-clipped & unclipped fish passing Leaburg and Upper Bennett dams. Adult fish passage at Leaburg and Upper Bennett dams was continuously monitored in 2010. We estimated that 2,696 spring Chinook (52% unclipped) passed above Leaburg Dam and 5,956 passed above upper Bennett Dam (14% unclipped). Passage at Leaburg Dam of fin-clipped fish was strongly bimodal with peaks in June (coincident with passage of the majority of unclipped fish) and September (coincident with a smaller proportion of unclipped fish). This bimodal peak suggests that hatchery fish might be removed in September to reduce the proportion of hatchery origin spawners while simultaneously reducing the impacts of handling wild fish. Task 2.1: Collection, spawn timing, and Hatchery/Wild (H/W ) composition for broodstock management. Collection, spawn timing, and H/W composition for broodstock management were successfully monitored at all facilities in 2010. Task 2.2: Determine Survival of Outplanted Fish and Abundance of Spawners. Patterns of pre-spawning mortality were similar to results in 2009 with mortality below project dams significantly higher than that above project dams. We did not detect significant differences in mortality between clipped and unclipped spring Chinook. In comparisons of pre-spawning mortality among sub-basins above project dams, pre-spawning mortality was uniformly low in the Breitenbush and N. Santiam above Detroit, S. Santiam above Foster, and in the S. Fork McKenzie. Pre-spawning mortality was uniformly higher above project dams in the N. Fork Mid. Fork Willamette, Fall Creek and the Little N. Fork Santiam. No comprehensive surveys were conducted in the Middle Fork Willamette. Task 3.1: Determine the extent of summer steelhead reproduction in the wild: We developed a formal study plan to analyze and interpret genetic results from a collection of 299 tissue samples from unclipped juvenile steelhead at Willamette Falls, five from the mainstem Willamette River, and two from the South Santiam River in 2010 in addition to a single sample from an unclipped adult steelhead at the Minto fish collection facility. Samples were preserved 7 and cataloged and then shipped to the NOAA Fisheries Manchester, Washington (WA) laboratory for analysis. Task 3.2: Evaluate release strategies for summer steelhead to increase migration and reduce impacts on wild fish. Study plans to evaluate advantages and disadvantages of volitional release strategies were completed and presented in the 2009 annual report to USACE (Cannon et al. 2010). Funding to process the tissue samples was not available in 2010, and no progress was made in executing the proposed work.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Fish Use of the Estuary: 1999 Tillamook Bay Monitoring Report Abstract -- The study was conducted during the summer and autumn of 1998 and the spring and summer of 1999. The fish sampling done in 1998 was used to provide an estuary-wide overview of the fish species composition and relative abundance during the mid-summer period and to test sampling gear and sampling strategies for development of a long-term monitoring program. The sampling conducted in 1999 built upon the information gained in 1998 and provided an initial test of a sampling design for long-term monitoring of the Bay's fish community. Sampling of the fish community in 1998 was conducted using beach seine, bottom trawl, fyke net and round-haul net. During 1999, initial testing of the proposed long-term monitoring program was conducted using beach seine, trawl and fyke nets. A total of 40 fish species were collected during this study whereas a total of 59 species were captured during ODFW's surveys during the mid- 1970s. Of the 40 species captured in this study, all but four were present in the mid- 1970s. Eight of the ten most abundant species present in the mid-1970s were among the ten most abundant species captured in this study. All but one of the abundant species in the beach seine catch were found throughout the estuary. All five species of anadromous salmonids known to occur in the Tillamook Bay watershed were collected during this study. However, only juvenile chum and chinook salmon were caught in any abundance. The most abundant non-salmonid species in the estuary were euryhaline marine species.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: OWEB Grant Number 208-2084 Project Completion Report - PUR Monitoring Abstract -- While it is assumed that habitat enhancement and fish passage improvements increase fish production, there is little empirical data to support that claim in the Umpqua Basin. The Umpqua District has used smolt traps in the past to both establish a baseline record and to attempt to determine any response to habitat enhancement (Brush, Hinkle, and Big Tom Folley Creeks). Brush Creek and Big Tom Folley were originally chosen as monitoring sites since they are similar in characteristics, and Brush was originally the treatment stream for restoration projects while Big Tom Folley was used as the control until later projects occurred. Currently, there are PUR habitat enhancement projects scheduled to take place within the Little Wolf Creek and Wolf Creek basins. In order to gain more insight as to whether restoration efforts improve fish populations and address limiting factors, baseline and post treatment surveys will be needed. Restoration that is planned in Wolf and Little Wolf Creeks in 2008 and 2009 provides a unique opportunity to examine stream and fish responses to log-only and boulder-only instream placements. Pre-treatment data exists on these streams for smolt outmigration, summer habitat, spawning adults, summer seeding, channel cross-sections and temperature. ODFW has been collecting smolt out-migration data at five sites in the Upper Umpqua and Elk Creek watersheds almost continuously for 15 years to monitor yearly trends and to calculate over-winter survival rates of coho and steelhead. This OWEB grant will add to this baseline data and provide funding to continue past monitoring and add new monitoring components. Continuous smolt trap data from Brush, Big Tom Folley, and Hinkle Creeks is important to future efforts to monitor watershed health. Extensive habitat enhancement and fish inventories have been completed within the Hinkle Creek, Brush Creek and Big Tom Folley Creek basins. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) Umpqua Watershed District joined with the Partnership for the Umpqua Rivers (PUR) in an effort to continue ongoing juvenile monitoring within the Umpqua Basin. Since little is known about stream-specific limiting factors and fish production response to various habitat restoration treatments such as log or boulder placement, these long term data sets will help to understand the fish response aspect related to or resulting from habitat restoration projects.

A preliminary draft and draft of the PAR were circulated for review and comment, and comments have been incorporated or addressed in the PAR. The SCS is evaluating physical changes to the configuration of the Columbia River System for the purpose of improving survival for anadromous fish. The proposed changes include modification of spillways, powerhouses and associated structures on the lower Snake River, and the construction of additional dams and structures which would permit modifications in present system operation. This specific PAR addresses the lower Snake River drawdown alternatives and the upstream collection and transport alternatives, including the migratory canal and tube. In addition, specific requests have been made from the Columbia-Snake River Drawdown Committee to evaluate designs for a side-channel spi 11 way and downstream weir at each of the lower Snake River projects. These elements were not addressed in the preliminary draft of the PAR. Other elements of SCS, such as the John Day drawdown and upstream storage, are being addressed by the Portland and Boise Fish and Wildlife Ecological Services Offices of the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. The objectives of this PAR are to: 1) Describe relevant fish and wildlife populations and habitat within the study area; 2) Describe future fish and wildlife habitat conditions without the project; 3) Appraise existing fish and wildlife utilization; 4) Evaluate impacts of project alternatives on fish and wildlife resources; 5) Identify data gaps and study needs which need to be addressed during feasibility; and 6) Identify potential mitigation opportunities and requirements. In order to evaluate a full range of alternatives to improve the survival of anadromous fish stocks in the Snake River, this PAR also recommends that alternatives to evaluate the removal of one to four dams on the lower Snake River, and permanent, partial drawdowns be included in the range of alternatives under consideration. The need to consider these alternatives has become evident as uncertainties associated with the initially proposed alternatives have developed.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Chinook Salmon Recreational Fishery Creel Survey on Lookingglass Creek for the 2001 Run Year Abstract -- In 2001, a large number of hatchery origin Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, 1,717, were expected to return to Lookingglass Creek. Most of the projected returns were from the Rapid River stock, a non-native hatchery stock of salmon that was no longer in use in the basin due to its non-local origin and high stray rates. Concern over potential disease transmission to Endangered Species Act listed stocks of Chinook salmon being reared at Lookingglass Fish Hatchery led to a management decision to not allow Chinook salmon spawning above the hatchery and to limit spawning to a short section of stream below the hatchery water intake. Because most returning Chinook salmon were from a stock that was no longer in use in hatchery programs in the basin and co-managers had decided that it was undesirable that they spawn in the wild, co-managers decided to remove as many as possible from the stream by providing recreational and tribal fishing opportunities. Recreational angling for Chinook salmon was allowed on Lookingglass Creek from 26 May through 1 July 2001. An intensive creel survey was conducted to monitor angling effort, catch rates and impacts on nontarget stocks and species. We conducted 1,606 angler interviews during the 2001 season on Lookingglass Creek. We estimate that 741 Chinook salmon were caught and 541 were kept by anglers. Catch rates were good throughout the season with mean catch rates of 12.0 and 12.3 h/fish in May and June, respectively, and 8.7 h/fish on 1 July.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Lower Deschutes River Subbasin Management Plan 1997 Abstract -- This plan covers management of fish and their habitats in the lower Deschutes River subbasin. The lower Deschutes River subbasin as defined in this plan as the Deschutes River from the Pelton Reregulating Dam downstream to the Columbia River and all waters within that drainage area. This plan was developed in cooperation with the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon (CTWS). The CTWS and the ODFW are co-managers of the fishery resources in the lower Deschutes River. Policy and objective statements contained in this plan are not applicable to waters on the CTWS reservation. Some policy and objective statements contained in this plan are in opposition to CTWS resource management strategies. The lower Deschutes River is classified as both state of Oregon and federal Wild and Scenic rivers. White River, a major tributary to the lower Deschutes, begins at White River Glacier on the southeast side of Mount Hood and flows 44 miles to its confluence with the Deschutes River. White River is classified as a federal Wild and Scenic river and has been nominated to be included in the state of Oregon wild and scenic river program. The lower Deschutes River is known nationally and internationally for its sport fishing. Resident trout, summer steelhead, spring chinook, and fall chinook are the most sought after species. The lower Deschutes River also supports important tribal fisheries for indigenous fishes. Both summer steelhead and spring chinook are supplemented with hatchery produced fish. Rainbow trout and fall chinook are not stocked in the mainstem lower Deschutes River. In the late l980's the Northwest Power Planning Council administered a planning process to create a management plan for the Columbia River basin. As a part of that process, a subbasin plan concerning management of steelhead and salmon was written for the lower Deschutes River. This document, the Lower Deschutes Subbasin Fish Management Plan, significantly expands on the Northwest Power Planning Council document by adding resident fish species and new information on anadromous species and will ultimately produce the final plan used to guide fish resource management in the sub basin for the next 5 to 10 years. Title: Lower Deschutes River Subbasin Management Plan 1997 Abstract -- This plan covers management of fish and their habitats in the lower Deschutes River subbasin. The lower Deschutes River subbasin as defined in this plan as the Deschutes River from the Pelton Reregulating Dam downstream to the Columbia River and all waters within that drainage area. This plan was developed in cooperation with the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon (CTWS). The CTWS and the ODFW are co-managers of the fishery resources in the lower Deschutes River. Policy and objective statements contained in this plan are not applicable to waters on the CTWS reservation. Some policy and objective statements contained in this plan are in opposition to CTWS resource management strategies. The lower Deschutes River is classified as both state of Oregon and federal Wild and Scenic rivers. White River, a major tributary to the lower Deschutes, begins at White River Glacier on the southeast side of Mount Hood and flows 44 miles to its confluence with the Deschutes River. White River is classified as a federal Wild and Scenic river and has been nominated to be included in the state of Oregon wild and scenic river program.
