Newspaper Page Text2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, JULY 24, 2017 In Seaside, a ﬁ sh(y) story Dam in Eastern Oregon being removed to ease ﬁ sh passage Associated Press PENDLETON — Work has started to remove a dam in Eastern Oregon that blocks salmon, steelhead and lamprey. The effort to remove the Dillon Diversion Dam on the Umatilla River outside of Echo started earlier this month, the East Oregonian reported. The dam is 200 feet long. Bill Duke, district ﬁ sh biol- ogist for the Oregon Depart- ment of Fish and Wildlife, said ﬁ sh ladders on either side of dam don’t always work prop- erly, and the dam was consid- ered a signiﬁ cant problem for native salmon and steelhead. “Fall Chinook and coho, they tend to come up to that obstruction and get delayed there,” Duke said. “They end up spawning there below the dam.” He said the spot is not con- ducive for rearing juvenile salmon and steelhead. The dam built in 1915 served ﬁ ve landowners as part of the Dillon Irrigation Co. with water rights dating to the 1890s. But the land- owners say the dam that’s 16 feet deep clogs with gravel and is difﬁ cult to maintain. The landowners will now get their water from the upstream Westland Diversion Dam and a 2-mile pipeline completed in March. The pipeline is being paid for in part with a $175,000 grant from the Oregon Department of Fish and Brien opens bait and tackle shop Wildlife’s Restoration and Enhancement Board. The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, a state agency that provides grants to improve streams, rivers and wetlands, added another $300,000. Irrigators contrib- uted $140,000. The Bonneville Power Administration is pay- ing $600,000 to remove the dam as part of its require- ment to support viable ﬁ sh populations. “There’s water savings. There’s ecological beneﬁ ts. There’s economic beneﬁ ts for the local irrigation districts,” said Michael Ward, executive director of the Umatilla Basin Watershed Council. “This has all hallmarks of a great project.” By EVE MARX For The Daily Astorian Man charged in brother’s death in Tillamook Associated Press TILLAMOOK — Authorities arrested a 42-year-old man accused of killing his older brother in Tillamook. The Tillamook County Sheriff’s Ofﬁ ce says in a news release that police went to a home on a distur- bance call Sunday and found the body of 49-year-old John Armitage. His brother, Jared Armit- age, was booked into jail on a murder charge. Court records show Jared Armit- age pleaded guilty in May to misdemeanor harassment of his older brother.

In 1985, he became the full- time b uilding o fﬁ cial in Sea- side and says he was the head of every building department at one point or another in Clat- sop County. His last full-time position before retiring was b uilding o fﬁ cial for Gearhart. Customers for his lures are ﬁ shing for salmon and steel- head, Brien said. “You have to walk the river to ﬁ nd the ﬁ sh,” he said. “You have to learn how to cast.” Fishermen, he said, are secretive. They don’t want any- body to know their best spots. “I’d just as soon lose the ﬁ sh than let another ﬁ sher- man know where I caught it,” Brien said with a laugh. Lightning Strike Lures are immensely colorful. Why is that? Aren’t ﬁ sh colorblind? “People will tell you they can’t see colors,” Brien said. “But that’s not my experi- Astoria street striping this week Baker 50/90 Ontario 69/98 Klamath Falls 56/85 Eve Marx/ The Daily Astorian Jim Brien in front of his new bait and tackle shop on Ave- nue S, which opened last week.

Which is proba- bly why his “Shark Attack” lure is one of his most pop- ular. It really does look like a spray of blood, but in an attractive way. He said Chi- nook salmon favor lures that are green, while coho tend to like pink. “The #5 Hula Girl lure is one of my top sellers, too,” Brien said. Who or what wouldn’t be lured by a hula girl? Brien acknowledges there is an art to ﬂ y-tying. And knowing what works best for a particular species of ﬁ sh and knowing which lure is the right one to troll. He also sells salmon and steelhead ﬁ sh bait, which means night crawlers, salmon eggs and sand shrimp. “I also sell crab bait,” he said, wrin- kling his nose. Crab bait is stinky. Not his favorite smell.

Brien, who retired in January as Gear- hart’s building ofﬁ cial, opened his shop last week. The ﬁ sher- men and the contractors he’s known and worked with for years are already dropping in. “This is custom service for ﬁ shermen,” Brien said. He made it clear it’s not just a boy’s club; lady ﬁ shermen are very welcome. He’s selling his Lightning Strike Lures, which he’s been making as a hobby for decades. Most of them are so pretty that minus the hooks, they could pass for jewelry. “I’ve been selling them at wholesale prices for awhile now, unofﬁ cially,” Brien said. The shop is plentifully stocked with alluring lures, each one of them handmade by Brien . “There isn’t a lure here that I haven’t made.” Brien has been a ﬁ sher- man since he was 5 years old. He grew up casting off the Redondo Beach pier as a child in California. For most of his life he worked in some capac- ity as an enforcer of city ordi- nances. In 1985 he came out to Oregon from Las Vegas. He had a lumber business in Tualatin. He also worked as a foreman overseeing water storm lines. “I did a stint as a police ofﬁ cer in the c ity of Tigard,” he said.
