Youth gain trout fishing opportunity The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife partnered with the Siletz Tribe again this summer to provide more than 800 trout for harvest by Tribal youth at the Tribe’s Lhuuke Illahee Fish Hatchery during a series of kids fishing days and Culture Camp events. Because some fish still are present in the pond and are doing well, the Tribal Natural Resources Department will offer additional opportunities for youth to fish for these trout. Tribal members now can obtain a permit from the Natural Resources Department to take their kids fishing at the hatchery. Fishing will be open at the lower pond (the one without the cement walkway) daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. You must have a valid State of Oregon fishing license to fish for these fish if you are age 14 or older. This fishery is not covered by the Tribe’s fishing tags. Permits are required and can be obtained at the Tribal Natural Resources office in the Tribal administration building in Siletz from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays. For more information, stop by the Natural Resources office or call Natural Resources Manager Mike Kennedy at 541-444-8232 or 800-922-1399, ext. 1232; or Natural Resources Administra tive Assistant Rosie Williams at 541 -444- 8227 or 800-922-1399, ext. 1227.
