Season, Bag Limit
Decision Slated
Final decision on the Roseburg
, Rod and liun Clun's proposal tor
a raised bag limit and an extend
ed fishing season in the Umpqua
River will be made by the Ore
gon' State Game Commission at
a Jan. 26 meeting.
After its general meeting last
week in Portland at which 1955
angling regulations were propos
ed, the ' Commission announced
- that it "hadn't yet acted on the
proposal." - ' .
Sportsmen in this area ' have
asked for a fishing season extend
ed two weeks at each end and
an increased salmon limit to two
fish a week.
"We Were Assured"
The sportsmen base their pro
posal on the contention that we
were assured that we would have
a two-fish limit when and if the
present fish cycle showed a sub
stantial gain," according to spokes
man Bill Jones of the Rod and
Gun Club.
Since limitations have been ex
ercised on the Umpqua and tribu
taries, salmon runs have gradual
ly increased. They reached a l ew
high of 6,000 in the 1954 count.
Sportsmen claim additionally
that when they were hot accorded
an increased bag limit in 1954,
Few Fish Moving Now
In Umpqua, Report Says
The weekly fishing report of the
Oregon State Game Commission
informs that the lower Umpqua
River is muddy and that a 1 1
streams in the upper river area
are falling but are still quite tur
bid. ,
Water tomneraturcs are low.
and few 'fish are moving. Fishing
in the deeper eddies with cluster
eggs appear to be producing most
of the fish now being caught. Pros
pects for the coming weekend. are
only lair...,- ' v.
the Commission at that time as
sured them of an increased limit
in 1955 on the condition that 1954
runs indicated further gains.
Local Commission authorities
have conceded "a healthy gain"
jo 1954's 6,000-fish run over the
parent run of five years ago. But
they argue that this is not suffi
cient. '
Meant 10,000
They have based their conten
tion on the fact that their original
proposal for liberalization of re
strictions at the beginning of- the
present cycle was based on an
ultimate increased spawning es
capement of approximately 10,000
fish' a year.
These figures, they say, haven't
been reached yet.
Following is the Game Commis
sion's report on tentative 1955 an
gling regulations as adopted at
its Portland meeting last wcek
as they apply locally. , .
Tentative Angling Regulations
In a recent session, the Oregon
Slate Game Commission set the
proposed angling regulations lor
1955.
Few major changes from the
, 1954 regulations ware adopted. Tne
tentative opening date for trout

Cascades would bo open from May

Other major changes would
mako it legal to keep fish over 14

on the McKcnzic River and would
also make it legal to take white

stcclhead, or salmon angling.
There would be no bag length lim
