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.
