  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Coos and Curry County Lakes and Reservoirs Master Plan for Angler Access and Associated Recreational Uses 1968 Abstract -- Coos and Curry Counties are the southernmost coastal counties in Oregon. Their eastern county lines extend to the summit of the coast range along some of the most rugged areas in the state. There are basically two types of lakes in these counties, mountain and coastal. Each county has been divided into these segments in describing the lakes. The Kalmiopsis Wild Area in South Curry County has been treated separately because road access is prohibited. Lakes and reservoirs in these counties fill a very important niche in the fisheries picture. They provide resident trout and warm-water fishing which relieves the pressure on local streams that produce the salmon and steelhead.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Harney and Malheur Counties Master Plan for Angler Access and Associated Recreational Uses 1967 Abstract -- Harney and Malheur Counties are Oregon's two largest counties. They cover the entire southeast corner of the state. Topography is diversified in a minor sense of the word. The entire area is dry, but the northern part of Harney County receives adequate rainfall to support a pine forest. Southern Harney County and most of Malheur County are arid and only support juniper and sagebrush. Since this area is so dry there has been considerable effort during past years to establish reservoirs for irrigation storage. For this reason, over 90% of the lakes in these counties are man made reservoirs. Since this area is so dry there has been considerable effort during past years to establish reservoirs for irrigation storage. For this reason, over 90% of the lakes in these counties are man made reservoirs. In some instances, the establishment of a fishery is difficult because of annual irrigation drawdown. So, it is recommended that minimum pools be established on reservoirs of this type. The fishery in most of these lakes is for trout. The rich composition of the land makes rich reservoirs that grow trout and warm-water game fish at a fantastic rate. This report details a plan that we hope can be followed to solve access problems and provide additional recreational waters in Harney and Malheur Counties.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Douglas County Lakes and Reservoirs Master Plan for Angler Access and Associated Recreational Uses 1968 Abstract -- Douglas County covers roughly 5,000 square miles of Southwest Oregon and is almost coincidental with the boundaries of the Umpqua River watershed. The topography consists of the Coast Range mountains in the west, a central valley area and the Cascade Mountains to the east. Other valley areas are scattered throughout the county. Most of the lakes and impoundments of the county are located in the Cascades to the west and along the coast to the east. While good roads link these lakes with the populated areas of the county, additional developments are needed on about 30 lakes to spread out tourist pressure and help provide quality recreation over more of the county. A few of the larger more popular lakes are crowded to and beyond capacity during the trout season. Potential impoundments for recreation have been recommended at 23 sites. A high priority is placed on establishing warm-water fisheries adjacent to communities where heavy utilization favors better fish growth. Old log-ponds are sometimes used to good advantage for this type of recreation. This report details a plan that we hope can be followed to solve the access problems of the Douglas County lakes and reservoirs.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Josephine and Jackson Counties Lakes and Reservoirs Master Plan for Angler Access and Associated Recreational Uses 1968 Abstract -- Josephine and Jackson Counties are located in the southwestern part of the state. The famous Rogue River Valley is the nucleus of the area. Most of the Jackson County lakes are in the Cascade Mountains. Josephine County has a few lakes in the Siskiyou Mountains at the south end of the county. The lakes included in this plan are either reservoirs or back country lakes. Some of the reservoirs were natural lakes but have been enlarged with the construction of a dam; others were formed by flooding a low meadow area. The fisheries differ as to locality and type of lake. The back country lakes have rainbow and brook trout; the large reservoirs are stocked with rainbow, cutthroat, and brook trout, and one reservoir has kokanee salmon. The warm-water lakes and ponds support populations of bass, bluegill, crappie, and catfish. We have attempted to include are those existing and potential bodies of water that provide or could be developed to provide significant recreation at economically feasible costs.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Management Plan of Hagg Reservoir 1986 Abstract -- Hagg Reservoir is a Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) multi purpose reservoir on Scoggins Creek, Washington County, 6 miles southwest of Forest Grove. It was constructed in 1974 and filled the first time in 1975. The Department of Fish and Wildlife entered into an agreement with Washington County and BOR in 1973 to provide fishery management. One hatchery pond was constructed to rear trout; trout to compensate for those lost through the unscreened outlet, and paid for by Washington County. Anadromous fish trapping facilities were constructed below the dam, adjacent to the spillway. Washington County maintains public facilities around the reservoir and they are heavily used. Other major recreational activities, in addition to angling, are boating and swimming. BOR information from 1984 shows about 539,000 visitors. In November 1986, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's recommendation to manage Hagg Reservoir for hatchery trout and wild hatchery warmwater species.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Hood River, Wasco and Sherman Counties Lakes and Reservoirs Master Plan for Angler Access and Associated Recreational Uses 1970 Abstract -- The area covered in this report includes Hood River, Wasco and Sherman Counties. Located in the north central portion of the state, the counties encompass an area of approximately 3,762 square miles. The terrain varies considerably from the alpine and timbered heights along the Cascade Summit to the flat arid sagelands covering the eastern portions of the area. The fishery consists of both trout and warm-water fish. Brook and rainbow trout are present in the higher mountain lakes, and warm-water fishes and rainbow trout in the reservoirs of the lower arid lands to the east. This report details a plan that we hope can be followed to solve the access problems of the Hood River, Wasco and Sherman Counties lakes and reservoirs.

The area is mountainous and heavily forested with hot and dry summers and mide and wet winters. It is largely rural with one urban center, Grants Pass, and a number of small communities. In this assessment, we have divided the MRW into five subwatersheds: Grave Creek, Galice Creek, Jumpoff Joe Creek, Grants Pass and the Wild and Scenic watersheds.
