Fisheries Director
Caller, Gold Beach
GOLD BEACH—Dr. II. J. Ray
ner, chief of operations director
of fisheries for the game com
mission, Portland, was principal
speaker to a group of interested
sportsmen and citizens F riday,
here. The purpose of the meet
ing was to find out what the peo
ple want in way of improving
regulations and to inform them
of the progress and study being
made of the Rogue River. The
lower river is under H. E. Mas
tin, resident biologist, and the
upper river is in the Grants Pass
and Medford area, and is headed
by Cole Rivers.
Dr. Rayner pointed out that
the spring run of Chinook in the
Rogue is declining alarmingly,
from 1942 to the present time.
He listed as contributing causes,
change in water conditions in the
upper reaches of the river, irri
gation, disease, off-shore trolling
and mortality rate in the ocean.
It will take time to correct these
conditions and it is believed that
if the spring run is to survive
on the Rogue, limits will have
to be reduced on the spring run
as well as other immediate steps.
The only rivers in the United
States having the spring run of
Chinook are the Rogue, Umpqua,
and Columbia.
It seemed to be the consensus
of the meeting that the daily
limit of two fish and maintain
ing the 20-fish for the season was
fair but to eliminate the week
ly limit. Very few realized the
vast change in the water in the
