Til M SALMOX llOd Ml.MS.
Oregon's conservation commission while devoting some
time to consideration of salmon fishing in the Columbia,
entirely neglects the preservation of trout, in fact the only
recommendation made is to exterminate the king of game
fi1i in salmon hatcherv streams. The commission's re
port says:
"The steclhead I rout should be kept out of all hatch
ery shrams. They subsist on salmon eygs and fry and
recent inrestiyations show that Ihc loss by this means is
jirodigious. I'cmoval of the close season against trout on
hatchery streams would probably suffice. If not, the hatch
ery men miilit be empowered to do u little judicious gill
vetting for trout in the neighborhood of hatchery
grounds."
The Rogue river is a salmon hatchery stream and the
supply of salmon is growing beautifully less every year,
and so is the supply of trout. In past years, when no arti
ficial barriers existed, the stream was not overfished and
natural conditions obtained, there were plenty of both
salmon and trout.
Efforts are made and have been made for HO years to
propagate salmon and replenish the supply. No effort has
beeii made to propagate trout in Oregon, ... that with
the constant fishing, the supply has greatly diminished,
and there is not one trout now where there were a hun
dred a few veal's ago. If trout exterminate salmon, how
was it that there were so many salmon when there were
so many more trout?
The salmon fisher is one of the greatest hogs on record.
lie slaughters fish hy the million; he enjoys the benefits
of protection by paternal state governments, who
speUd the money of all the people thai a few may become
irridthy, and nntddc to rest rain his own ra parity the real
cause of the e.rlerminid ion of salmon he would dejirivt
thousands of enjoyment , iiliusnrc and rrrrrnt ion.
"The salmon fisher alone is the doom of the salmon, lie
kills more fish in a week than a hatchery can produce in
a year, lie knows and respects no law, though intended
solely to protect his own future. He had better follow the
commission's advice, for he is unwilling to make any tem
porary sacrifices to perpetuate the salmon and had "bet
ter abandon all pretense of prcscrvuton and protection
and do the deadly business thoroughly and without hy
pocrisy." ;?
The Rogue river is more valuable and worth more com
mercially to the country as a trout fishing si ream than
as a salmon stream conducted to benefit a monopoly. It
is an attraction that will be worth millions to this region
eventually a Mecca for anglers from all over the Union.
Any effort to sacrifice trout in it for the benefit of the
few salmon fishers will meet with determined opposition.
I f the two fish cannot exist in the same stream, as intended
by nature then the salmon, not the trout must go. But
there is room for both.
At any rate, there will be no removal of close season
and no gillnetting permitted for trout in the Rogue. "
