Resolution of Tribal Council
Euchalon
fishery
W hereas the Treaty with
the Tribes and Bands o f the
Middle Oregon on June 25,
1855 reserved to the Confed
erated Tribes o f the Warm
Springs Reservation o f O r
egon, o ff reservation fishing
rights, and;
Whereas the Tribal Coun
cil regulates treaty fishing for
conservation and other pur
poses pursuant to the Tribal
C onstitution and By-Laws
and the Warm Springs Tribal
Code; and,
W hereas the C onfeder
ated T ribes o f th e W arm
Springs Reservation o f O r
egon have historically fished
for Pacific eulachon at the
Cowlitz and Sandy rivers and
other tributary and Columbia
River locations in the Colum
bia River basin; and,
Whereas the Tribal Coun
cil has been advised by the
Fish and Wildlife Committee
and the B ranch o f N atural
Resources staff that the pre
dicted return o f the Pacific
eulachon will require a har
vest restriction on the treaty
fishery to ensure adequate
spawning escapement; and,
W hereas the Tribal Coun
cil has been advised by the
Fish and Wildlife Committee
and the Branch o f N atural
Resources that the National
Marine Fisheries Service des
ignated has listed the eulachon
as a threatened species, and
in N ovem ber 2011, the Co
lumbia River and tributaries
as critical habitat for Pacific
eulachon; and,
Whereas the Tribal Coun
cil recognizes the hardship
placed on trib al m em bers
with harvest restrictions, as
adopted by Resolutions in the
past, but with concern for the
future o f the fishery resource,
understands the need for a
conservative fishery; now,
therefore,
Be it re so lv e d by th e
Twenty-Sixth Tribal Council
o f the Confederated Tribes
o f the Warm Springs Reser
vation o f Oregon pursuant to
Article V, section 1(1), (r) and
(u) o f the Tribal Constitution
an d By-Law s, and W arm
Springs Tribal Code Section
340.310(2), th at beginning
immediately the following re
stric tiv e reg u latio n s are
adopted for tribal subsistence
fishing for Pacific eulachon
at the Sandy and Cowlitz riv
ers during 2014:
1.
In re c o g n itio n o f
the traditional methods, Pa
cific eulachon may be har
v ested w ith dipnets seven
days per week from March
1, 2014 to March 30, 2014
unless the tribal allocation o f
7,500 pounds (approximately
107,100 fish) is reach ed
so o n er. F ish in g may take
place between 6 a.m. and 6
p.m. daily. The expectation o f
the Branch o f N atural Re
sources (BNR) is th a t the
harvest will be divided ap
proximately evenly between
the Sandy and Cowlitz rivers,
2.
Gear shall be limited
to dipnets.
3.
T h e p rovisions o f
W arm springs Tribal Code
340.310 (8), requiring th at
dipnets are attended continu
ously, will be enforced.
4.
The BNR is respon
sible for' the biological moni
toring o f the fishery. Pursu
ant to Warm Springs Tribal
C o d e 340.310(11), trib a l
members fishing shall, upon
request, allow authorized fed
eral, stkte or tribal officers to
produce official tribal identi
ficatio n and in sp e c t th eir
catch. BNR will collect and
share h arvest in fo rm atio n
and other relevant biological
and scientific in fo rm atio n
with WDFW-Washington D e
partm ent o f Fish and Wild
life, and O DFW -Oregon D e
partm ent o f Fish and Wild
life to contribute to their in
form ation gathering objec
tives. Periodic reports o f run
status and abundance en
countered by tribal fishers
will be shared with W DFW
and O D F W to aid in their
monitoring and public infor
m ation objectives.
5. ) T rib al m em b ers

will not be required to pro
duce a state fishing license.
6.
