  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.

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.

The project summarizes the condition of stream habitat, the distribution and abundance of salmonid fishes, and the potential for restoration. The ODFW Aquatic Inventories Project has conducted stream habitat surveys as part of its basin survey project and habitat assessment project under the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds. The goal of these surveys was to document the status and trends of stream conditions in coastal drainages. These surveys in conjunction with fish distribution, fish presence, potential barriers to passage, and past restoration activities form the basis of the analyses.
