Laws protect game fish
for future state anglers
Before setting the first hook in the water,
anglers should be familiar with the Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife’s regulations and
suggestions.
Not only will it prevent an unwanted citation,
but the laws protect Oregon’s game fish from
overfishing and disappearance from state waters
First, every angler of age 14 or over must
obtain a valid angling license, obtainable for $9 at
any fishing or sporting goods supplier.
And while there, anglers should obtain a copy
of the department’s 1981 Oregon Sport Fishing
Regulations booklet — free at outdoor stores —
which details the state’s regulations
Next, the angler must be familiar with rules
governing the size and number of trout that can
be taken in one day No matter how many places
the angler tries only 10 trout can removed from
any lake or stream, river or reservoir in a day.
At reservoirs, lakes and ponds (except
beaver ponds), each trout must be at least six
inches long and not more than five of the trout can
be over 12 inches in length. Only two may be 20
inches or longer. During seven consecutive days
not more than 10 fish may be 12 inches or longer
and only four 20 inches or longer.
In streams, anglers may bag five trout six
inches or over, with no more than two over 20
inches
In streams and bays, the length of the trout
climbs to eight inches with the same five-and-two
trout limits.
Lane County anglers should familiarize
themselves with the regulations for zones 1,2 and
3 in the booklet, since each of the three areas is
partially situated in the county.
The cities of Eugene and Springfield are in
Zone 2, which, like the other zones has its own
regulations.
Cottage Grove, Dexter, Dorena and Fern
Ridge reservoirs, along with Creswell Ponds and
Delta Ponds, are open for angling the entire year
^^nots are tied, tackle readied and
rain gear patched. The alarm is set for
early opening day.
It’s a tradition — a ritual. An event
comparable to the opening season of
baseball doubleheaders in the East.
Trout season has begun.
The pre-dawn evacuation from
Eugene will begin Saturday morning as
fishermen get themselves in place for the
opening of the 1981 trout season.
It’s Oregon’s own Indy 500 as fisher
men race their vehicles to their favorite
hole on the McKenzie of Willamette Mid
dle Fork — Oregon’s largest trout ren
dezvous.
The Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife reports that the McKenzie River
is the most heavily stocked and heavily
fished river in the state
Like every year, the stocking process
begins this week to benefit fishermen on
opening day.
When it all comes together, drift boats
and bank anglers rub shoulders as the
morning begins. It bears the resemb
lence of a large-scale canoe fete.
But is a trout worth it? Is it worth the
pain of leaving the Friday night hoe
down early, grabbing a couple hours
sleep, finding a fishing spot in the rain
• and- trying to weaken the odds of
,-i catching a rainbow or a cutthroat?
To borrow an old cliche, the early bird
catches the worm — and often the trout.
Yet that’s only one strategy. For the
liberal nine-to-five college student/an
gler there are alternatives.
“Actually, opening day might be better
suited for the middle of May,’’ says Bob
Hooten, staff biologist for the state game
« commission in Springfield.
\ “When the weather gets warmer, and
i the river temperature rises, the fish are
v -.n
The rest of the county lakes and streams,
including the Willamette and McKenzie rivers will
be open from next Saturday through October 31
Fishermen should be aware that portions of
the county's two major rivers are closed at all
times.
McKenzie River — Closed to the taking of
trout 14 inches or longer in the mainstream or its
tributaries up to the Trail Bridge Dam, and in the
South Fork up to Cougar Dam Closed to all
angling in Leaburg Powerhouse Tailrace. Closed
to angling in the Walterville Canal Powerhouse
Tailrace from the salmon rack downstream to the
McKenzie River, including the bypass canal from
the salmon rack to the McKenzie River.
more active — more eager to feed.
“The weather is more pleasant and the
numbers of fishermen decline,” Hooten
says. “It’s often a better time to go.”
The commission, which raises trout at
the nearby Leaburg fish hatchery, does
not limit its stock to just a few drifts along
the local rivers. The county reservoirs
such as Cougar or Cottage Grove and
the high lakes in the Cascades are in
jected with trout.
One of the most common reasons for
being reluctant to spend time trout fish
ing is fear of not knowing how it’s done.
Like anything, casting, baiting, hook
ing and patience must all be learned.
Anyone hampered by this fear is
shortchanging the advantage of living
near some of the hottest trout spots in
the entire Northwest.
The process is simple, the equipment
inexpensive. And the trout season,
lasting from this weekend until the end of
October, allows more than enough time
to learn the ropes.
Following a few simple steps can calm
the anxiety and instill the sense of
challenge that calls fishermen yearly.
Buying equipment is comparable to
purchasing shoes — the consumer buys
what’s comfortable. Fishing rods vary in
length and should feel comfortable in the
angler’s hands. Most outdoor stores
have trained help that can aid anyone in
choosing the proper rod and reel.
Some packages begin as low as $20,
but anglers should avoid rigs that are so
inexpensive that they are poorly
manufactured. If a rod malfunctions on
the first cast, the neophyte fisherman is
discouraged from the outset. Fishermen
must be cautious in the store and make
their first investment pay off.
Few shops in the area offer rental
poles because of breakage problems. So
if you don’t want to buy one, the next best
thing to do is borrow a pole from a buddy.
Like most outdoor sports in the state,
licenses are required during trout sea
son.
Resident anglers can purchase their
season license for $9, while non-re
sidents can purchase an out-of-state
license for $25.
For fishermen only planning at a few
days at the lakes or streams, lower
priced temporary licenses are available.
The most prominent guide to the local
steams in found in the 1981 Oregon
Sport Fishing Regulations booklet.
The 56-page handbook, a must for
anglers and free at local outdoor stores,
lists the stocked waters in the state.
The booklet informs anglers of state
regulations, outlines equipment limita
tions, lists fish limits and gives a detailed
description of state zones.
The booklet covers both fresh and salt
water fishing regulations as well as state
guidelines for shellfish (For more in
formation, see story below).
Bait is also a major concern for
anglers. Information on flies, worms,
eggs, lures and other types of gigs can
be obtained in local angling shops.
The beginning fisherman should start
with a bait that requires one cast —
worms or eggs. Lures and fly fishing are
styles that are more enjoyable if
practiced before hand.
Trost fishing’s popularity in Oregon
has grown, according to a game com
mission survey which has plotted in
creased angling hours each year.
And the biggest day of the year is
Saturday, when veteran and beginning
anglers will line the banks of steams and
lakes waiting for the dawn opening.
Then the lines will hit the water.

Willamette River, Middle Fork — Angling from
Dexter Dam downstream about '/2-mile down
stream to powerline crossing is permitted from
the south shore only. Only one single-point hook
%-inch or smaller may be used (multiple hook
points prohibited) and all weights (if not part of the
conventional lure) must be attached above the
hook.
Hooks are measured from the point of the
hook directly across to the body of the hook.
No more than three hooks may be used while
angling.
Live, dead or preserved fish or fish parts may
not be used as bait in angling except eggs of
steelhead or salmon Live or dead non-game
marine fish may be used in the Ocean zone or
Zone 1.
Dead fish may be used in the mainstem and
flood plain lakes, sloughs and slack-water areas
of the Willamette
Anglers should also know how to release
under- or over-size fish unharmed.
The use of barbless hooks aids in releasing
fish. Before touching any fish an angler’s hands
should be wet and the fish must be handled
gently, never squeezed or touched on the gills.
If the hook cannot be easily removed, cut the
leader and leave it in place. If the fish shows signs
of exhaustion hold it in a swimming position and
move it back and forth until it swims.

your Nikes,
you haven’t been
