SIX-The Heppner Gaiette-Tlmes, Heppner. Oregon, Thursday. April I, 1981
Fish and Wildlife Commission modifies bear,
salmon regs.
Following public hearings
held in Portland on Friday,
March 20, the Fish and
Wildlife Commission modified
black bear pursuit seasons
and closed the chinook salmon
season on the Deschutes
River.
Following considerable pub
lic testimony nnd discussion,
the commission reconsidered
the black bear pursuit seasons
set earlier this year. A spring
pursuit season was earlier set
to run from March 28 through
April 26. In action Friday, the
commission completely elim
inated the spring season. To
somewhat compensate for this
move, the late summer season
was lengthened and will now
start on July 15 instead of
August 1. Closing date will
remain on August 26 as
originally scheduled.
In action on fishing regula
tions after hearing testimony
that the spring chinook run
headed for the Deschutes
River was expected to be
extremely low, the commis
sion shortened the salmon
season in that river.
Three changes were made
in the Deschutes rules. The
whole river will remain closed
to salmon angling through
June 21 instead of ODenine
below on April 1 below Sherar
Falls. Additionally, the bait

area just below the falls will
be closed to all angling
through June 21.
In related action the com
mission changed the steelhead
opening below Sherar Falls
from April 21 to April 25.
Fish and Wildlife Depart
ment staff biologists recom
mended the change because of
the projected small run of fish
and their recommendation
was backed up by testimony
from members of the Warm
Springs Indian Tribal Council.
The tribal council has also
closed the river to all salmon
fishing by members of their
tribe through June 21.

FISH AND WILDLIFE
DEPARTMENT ASKS
SPROTSMEN'S AID
An unattended, illegal gill
net in the Willamette River
fished longer than necessary
according to fish and wildlife
law enforcement officers. Lo
cated not far from the heart of
Portland, the net was attached
to the shore and when picked
up by officers of the Oregon
State Police had seven spring
chinook and four steelhead .
entangled In It. The toll would
have been lowered if It had
been reported sooner.
The Department of Fish and
Wildlife points out that glllnets
are illegal in all streams south
of the Columbia River and
anyone seeing such a net
should report It to the State
Police as soon as possible.
Because of the great value of
salmon, illegal poaching Is
chanced by certain unscrup
ulous individuals. This means
less fish for legal anglers and
less to continue upstream to
spawn.
The department cautions
that it is not usually wise to try
to make a citizen's arrest if
one observes a poacher in
action, but instead it is best to
gather as much information
as possible and report it to the
Oregon State Police at the
first opportunity.

100,000 sheep that will use
national forest ranpelands in
Oregon and Washington this
year will do bo at a reduced
fee. according to Regional
Forester R E. Worthinglon,
USDA Forest Service.
The fee per unit-month will
be $2.31 on the 19 national
forests and one national grass
land in the Pacific Northwest
Region. Fees last year ranged
from $2.3fi to $2.M for cattle. A
unit-month is grazing for one
month by one bull. cow. cow

or goats. Total use in unit
months in 1981 will be about

fees lower
than for a specific amount of
forage used.
In past years. Forest Ser
vice and Bureau of Land
Management grazing fees
have been different, and there
have also been variations
between areas of national
forests. This year and in the
future, the fee will be uniform,
Worthington said, because of a
formula specified in the Pub
lic Rangelands Improvement
Act of 197H.
The fee formula considers
the difference between total
costs of public and priviite
grazing, the value of forage,
beef cattle prices, and the
price ranchers pay for ItemB
and the significance of the six
percent tax limitation. They
will also learn how a county
budget is determined and the
many facets of a county
budget.

session. Extension member

The fee decrease this year is a
result of livestock production
costs exceeding livestock sel
ling prices in 19R0.
Grazing on the national
forests and grasslands is of
ma jor value to the local and
regional economy. Many live
stock operations depend
heavily on national forest
grazing to round out their
year-lung operation. Worth
ington said. Because of the
many uses and values found
on the national forests and the

management of grazing is
In-coming more complex and
