Pearson helped the Sandy High girls junior varsity to a Christmas floods kill hatchery fish rearing program w ill be changed by reducing an experimental program at Wahkeena Ponds, and the salmon rearing program at Stayton Ponds in the Santiam R iver system w ill be reduced by 1.5 m illion fry. The following night, at Cedar Creek Hatchery near Hebo in the Nestucca R iver system, shifting gravel plugged an intake pipe to holding ponds where adult w inter steelhead were being held. Loss of flow and debris in the water killed 237, or about half of the fish in the ponds Hatchery personnel went to work im mediately when the problem was discovered to restore flow and remove the gravel and High water and flood- carried debris caused fish losses at two hatcheries operated by the Oregon Department of Fish and W ildlife in late December. At Bonneville Hatchery on the Columbia River, nearly two m illion fa ll chinook fry were killed Christmas Day from among some 26.5 m illion fry’ and eggs being OREGON Fish 8 Wildlife held in indoor incubation trays. A secondary screen in the water intake system became plugged with flood- water debris causing a reduction in flow through the trays. Newly-hatched fry died because of reduced oxygen before the problem was discovered Water levels apparently did not drop enough to set off automatic alarm systems at the hatch ery. Five hatchery personnel on duty Christmas Day were kept furiously busy tryin g to keep two water intake pipes on Tanner Creek clear of debris carried by the unusually high and d irty waters. The intakes are located half a m ile apart and required attention every half-hour during the peak of the flooding In addition, an electrical problem at the hatchery, also caused by the flooding, took nearly half the day to correct. Although the m ajor intake screens that filte r the hatchery water supply from Tanner Creek were kept operable, a secondary set of screens where the water enters the incubation fa c ility became tem porarily clog ged, reducing the flow The losses cannot be replaced at this date and Fish Culture Supervisor Ernie Jeffries said the r ENTER THE POST S 1 I RECIPE CONTEST dead fish. The count was 136 dead female w inter steelhead and 101 males. Most of the fish were in poor condition due to having been mixed w ith the debris and gravel for several hours, and all were buried. Jeff ires says there is a good run of steelhead in Three Rivers, the Nestucca trib u ta ry on which the hatchery is located, and the loss w ill be made up w ith new fish so the rearing program can continue without reduction. Flooding caused extra work and serious problems at many other western Oregon hatcheries, but no other fish losses occurred. The Departm ent operates 33 fish hatcheries and rearing pond networks throughout the state. Sportsmen are reminded by the Fish and W ildlife Departm ent that hunting and fishing licenses and salmon- steelhead tags expired on New Y ear’s Eve, and now’s a good tim e to buy replacements fo r those who have not already done so. Although the Legislature w ill be considering a request fo r a general increase in license and tag fees fo r 1982, the fees fo r 1981 remain the same as last year. Hunters and fishermen who have reached the autumn of their sporting lives should be aware of special licenses available to them. There are two types of “ old tim e r’’ licenses and the Departm ent gets lots of calls from the elderly who are confused about the d if ferences between them. The ‘Pioneer License’ is available fo r Oregon residents who are 65 years of age or older and who have lived in the state fo r at least 50 years. This license costs $1 for the hunting and $1 for the fishing license per year fo r the years between age 65 and 70. A t age 70 the pioneer can get a free, permanent pioneer license. Pioneer license holders are eligible fo r a $2.50 elk tag although they pay fu ll price fo r other tags and permits. Healthy N ew Year.
