The Deschutes River was
closed to steelhead angling
Aug.21 for the first time in
history under emergency act
ion taken by the Fish and
Wildlife Commission. A much
below normal run and a near
failure in the "one-salt"
segment of the run prompted
the recommendation by De
partment staff.
Trapping at Sherars Falls
on the Deschutes as part of the
Department's ongoing re
search program showed the
run down 35 per cent compar
ed with 1977 in mid-August.
But equally important was the
near absence of fish that had
spent just one year in the
ocean. This age group normal
ly makes up 50 to 60 per cent of
the Deschutes run but only 10
per cent of the fish trapped at
Sherars Falls had been of this
age group. In addition to the
shortage this year, the weak
one-salt age class means an
almost certain shortage in the
two-salt portion of next year's
run.
The low water spring of 1977
is apparently the major cause
of the poor run. That year
most of the water in the
Columbia River went through
power generating turbines at
The Dalles and Bonneville
dams and so, therefore, did
many of the fish. The low run
is reflected equally in both the
wild and hatchery portions of
the run.
The Deschutes remains
open to angling for trout and
salmon. But steelhead, which
are frequently caught while
fishing for these other species,
must be immediately released
unharmed.
The Columbia River was
closed to steelhead fishing
earlier in the month because
counts at Bonneville Dam
indicated a poor run. At the
time there was no evidence of
low runs to tributary rivers
and it was thought the
problem was due primarily to
shortages of fish destined for
thet Snake River , and its i
tributaries. The Snake River;
and tributaries,' which - had
been scheduled to open for
steelhead September 1, were
also closed for the remainder

stating that he had found a spider in his paper, and asked
if this was an omen of good or bad luck.
Twain replied: "Finding a spider in your paper is neither
good nor bad luck. The spider was merely looking over our paper
to see which merchant was not advertising so that he could
go to that store, spin his web across the door, and lead
a life of undisturbed peace ever afterward.

Herbicide recommendations
draw industry praise for forests
The decision by the Asst.
Secretary of Agriculture to
reduce his restriction on the
aerial application of the herb
icides 2,4,5-T and Silvex from
with - one-quarter mile ., of
streams to 200 feet was only a
step in the right direction, a
, .spokeman for theOregon
i. Forest Industries ' Council,
said today. ". t
. "A 200 fooUmffer strip goes
beyond what scientific evi
dence tells us is necessary to
protect water quality," said Al
Wilson, director of forest
information for OFIC, a seg
ment of Associated Orgon
Industries.
"The June 1977 Environ
mental Protection Agency

cals and Protection of Water

fishing effort during a sche
duled commercial treaty Ind

Quality', recommends a one
' half spray swath width along
' streams. That would be about
30 to 50 feet," said Wilson.
ty "The Oregon Forest Prac
tices Act requires a one-swath
(60-100 foot) buffer strip along
- Class I streams, roughlytwice
the EPA recommendation.
Because of. environmental
f-petitions the State Board "of
Forestry was forced to consi
i der extending this buffer strip
to 200rfeet. We believe the
'scientific testimony given be
fore the board clearly shows
this is an unnecessary precau
tion," Wilson stated.
The board is scheduled to its
decision on this issue at a Sept.
27 meeting in Salem.
"Numerous compromises
have forced industry and

curtailment of Indian fishing
in the Columbia River would
require an action by the
government to give up more
and more of their forest
