Fishing regulation
Resolution No. 10210: Whereas the
Treaty with the Tribes and Bands of
Middle Oregon of June 25, 1855; re
served to the Confederated Tribes of the
Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon,
off-reservation fishing rights at all Usual
and Accustomed stations, including
Sherars Falls and oilier locations on the
Deschutes River; and,
Whereas the Tribal Council regu
lates Treaty Indian fishing for conser
vation and other purposes to the Tribal

340.310 of the Warm Springs Tribal
Code; and,
Whereas the Tribal Council has been
advised by the On and Off-Reservation
Fish and Wildlife Committees and the
Department of Natural Resources tech
nical biological staff that the predicted
return in 2002 of Deschutes River wild
fall Chinook salmon destined for above
Sherars Falls will be slightly higher than
the escapement goal and accordingly,
the Tribal Council believes some re
strictions on the Treaty Indian Fishery
for wild fall Chinook salmon are ap
propriate; now, therefore.
Be it resolved by the Twenty-Second
Tribal Council of the Confederated
Tribes of the Warm Springs Reserva
tion, pursuant to Article Section 1(e)
of the Constitution and Warm Springs
Tribal Code Section 340.311), that the
conservation regulations are hereby
adopted for the 2002 treaty Indian sub
sistence fishery on the Deschutes River
during the fall Chinook Salmon time
period (August 1 to December 31,
2002).
Beginning August 1, 2(102, subsis
tence fishing at Sherars f alls will be al
lowed up to a harvest cap of 500 wild
adult Chinook salmon. This represents
17 percent of the predicted return of
3,002 adult fall Chinook salmon above
Sherars balls.
Once the adult Chinook salmon
harvest cap has been reached, fishing
will remain open for hatchery (fin
clipped) steelhead only, until Decem
ber 31", 2002.
Fishing will be allowed seven days
per week.
All wild (non fin clipped) steelhead
must be released unharmed into the
Deschutes River.
The only fishing methods allowed
will be dip net, set net, and hook and
line, as set out in Warm Springs Tribal
Code 340.310.
Pacific lamprey (eel) harvest will be
allowed continuously throughout the
fall fishing time frame.
All Chinook salmon and steelhead
caught are for subsistence purposes
only. No sales to the public are allowed.
Monitoring of the tribal harvest, fish
escapement over Bonneville and the
Dalles Dam and fish escapement above
Sherars balls will be used to determine
if in season harvest modifications will
be necessary.
