State closes winter fishing season Sports anglers who brave the winter cold to fish in the Deschutes River near Warm Springs will no longer have that option come No vember. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, at their September 23 and 24 biennial meeting, closed the winter fishing season on the Deschutes from the Pelton Reregulating Dam to the lower end of White Horse Rapids. TheConfedcratedTribes,in 1987, sent representatives to Fish and Wildlife field hearings in Bend and The Dalles to express the Tribes desire to keep the fishing season closed because of potential trespass and patrol difficulties along the boundary of the reservation. Despite the Tribes' objections, the State de cided to extend the season to year round. The Department of Fish and items wanted for r -V t. .

Wildlife reviews sports fishing regulations every two years. During review in 1989, the Tribe once again expressed their desire to have the winter season closed. Instead of closing the season, a memorandum of understanding was developed be tween the State and the Tribe. The season remained open. In the spring of 1991, the Tribe submitted proposals to the State that would eliminate the winter season. In a strongly worded letter to Fish and Wildlife commissioners, the Tribe stated that if the State did not close the winter season, the Tribe would close all pubic use areas on the reservation, including Dry Creek, Indian Island in Lake Billy Chinook, the High Lakes area and Indian Park and eliminate public use of off -reservation lands such as Sandy Beach Bulk Kale Permit No. 2 Warm Spring, OK 97761 $LlJ V .... w OCTOBER 4, 1991 time capsule (iiiural t'oniriulori S.M.

"Public benefits from these uses and others far outweigh any conceivable ad vantage to extending year-round fishing in this short stretch of the Deschutes River," the letter stated. "The year-round fishing season on the Deschutes River where it forms the boundary of the Warm Springs Reservation must not be extended," concluded the letter. The Tribe also informed the State that they would "close the Deschutes by their own action," stated tribal attorney Howie ArnetL He added that Council instructed the tribal attor neys to begin legal action if the State didn't change the fishing season. "If the State forced litigation," Amctt continued on page 2
