(1)
The 2022 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations provide requirements for
the Columbia River Zone and the Snake River Zone. However, additional
regulations may be adopted in this rule division from time to time and to the
extent of any inconsistency, they supersede the 2022 Oregon Sport Fishing
Regulations.
(2) Effective
February 1, 2017, the use of barbed hooks is allowed when angling for salmon,
steelhead, or trout in the following areas:
(a) Within the Youngs Bay Select Area
(Clatsop County) from the Highway 101 Bridge upstream to markers at the
confluence of the Youngs and Klaskanine rivers, including the lower Lewis and
Clark River upstream to the Alternate Highway 101 Bridge and the Walluski River
upstream to the Highway 202 Bridge.
(b) Within the Knappa/Blind Slough Select
Area (Clatsop County) from markers at the west end of Minaker Island upstream
to markers at the mouth of Blind Slough, continuing upstream to the railroad
bridge in Blind Slough.
(3) Seasonal closures prohibiting angling may
be enacted to provide additional protection for upriver summer steelhead. When
enacted, closures will be from July 15-September 15 in Oregon waters at the
mouths, and in the lower reaches of Columbia River tributaries as specified in
sub-section (4)(a) through (4)(f) below.
(4) The closures will be in the lower reaches
of Eagle Creek (Central Zone), Herman Creek (Columbia Zone), and the Deschutes
River (Central Zone), and adjacent areas of the mainstem Columbia River
(Columbia River Zone) as described below:
(a)
Eagle Creek. That portion of Eagle Creek (Central Zone) from the angling
deadline in Eagle Creek (200 feet downstream of hatchery fishway entrance)
downstream to the mouth at the mainline railroad bridge.
(b) Eagle Creek mouth: That portion of the
mainstem Columbia River (Columbia River Zone) adjacent to the mouth of Eagle
Creek from the mainline railroad bridge northwest to a line projecting from a
marker on the Oregon shore approximately 200 feet downstream of Eagle Creek,
through red navigation buoy #4, and terminating at a marker on the Oregon shore
approximately 325 feet upstream of Eagle Creek.
(c) Herman Creek: That portion of Herman
Creek (Columbia Zone) from the mainline railroad bridge downstream to markers
at mouth.
(d) Herman Creek Lagoon:
That portion of the mainstem Columbia River (Columbia River Zone) adjacent to
the mouth of Herman Creek commonly referred to as Herman Creek Lagoon east of a
line from the northwest tip of the jetty, south to a marker on the Oregon
shore.
(e) Deschutes River: The
lower Deschutes River (Central Zone) from markers at the lower end of Moody
Rapids downstream to the mouth at the Interstate 84 Bridge.
(f) Deschutes River mouth: That portion of
the mainstem Columbia River (Columbia River Zone) adjacent to the mouth of the
Deschutes River from the Interstate 84 Bridge north to a line projecting from
the flashing red navigation marker #2 located approximately 1.5 miles
downstream of the Deschutes River mouth on the Oregon shore, upstream to the
red navigation marker #4, then to the lower South Channel Range "B" marker
located on the Oregon shore approximately 0.7 mile upstream of the Deschutes
River mouth.
(5) Except
as described above, other permanent rules apply except for those areas within
the Columbia River Zone which are subject to annual regulations described in
OARs 635-023-0095, 635-023-0125, 635-023-0128, and 635-023-0130 and those areas
within the Central Zone which are subject to any permanent rule modifications
within OAR
635-018-0090.
(6)
Nothing in this rule precludes the Department from recommending or enacting, as
needed for conservation purposes, protective measures for Columbia River
steelhead not described in this rule.
