Several special projects involving a variety of public agencies are underway throughout the region with goals rang ing from increasing fish production and rearing capabilities to enhancing public access and usage facilities. Still in its infancy is a watershed enhancement plan that will examine ways to improve the water quality and flow levels of the North Fork Burnt River above Unity Reservoir east of Prairie City. According to Rod Miller, a retired Forest Service wildlife biologist charged with facilitating develop ment of the plan, the Forest Service, Soil Conservation Service and a host of other agencies will look at means of reducing unusually heavy loads of fish-threatening silt that flow through the river system and into the reser voir each y tar. Among other objectives of the plan, researchers hope to develop a for mula to delay peak spring runoff of the river and its tributaries, which could result in more stable reservoir levels for longer periods of time. In another stream enhancement program, the Bonneville Power Ad ministration is funding an ongoing pioject to restore steelhead spawning and rearing capabilities of Trout Creek north of Madras “ We’re looking strictly at the riparian areas,” said Jerry Katt. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist involved with implementation of the project. “ Trout Creek is 70 miles of mainstem and about 70 miles of tributaries. We’re putting in juniper riprap, cull logs and root wads— just pretty basically getting the system back into condition.” Katt said Trout Creek was historically a major producer of young steelhead for the Deschutes River system, but years of unchecked damag ed to the riparian zones have virtually decimated steelhead runs there. Trout anglers also should enjoy increased opportunity as the fishery rebuilds, Katt said, “ ...because once you get the habitat back-granted our bottom line is anadromous fish, which is steelhead, but if you improve one, you improve the other.” On Brownlee Reservoir of the Snake River, construction should, by now, be completed on a 60-foot e tension of the upper boat ramp at Hewitt Park near Richland. Project leade r Rick Traw, Baker County Roadmaster, said plans are also underway to move the retaining wall (sea wall) there back to the edge of the original river channel to create badly needed additional parking facilities...“ if—and I say if—the water leaves us alone and they don’t raise it; we don’t have any control over that.” He said such con struction would also allow the road department to create additional park ing along the roadside. Why the big push to increase launching, camping and parking facilities at such an obscure little park? “ They have it advertised all over the Northwest as probably the best warmwater fishing in the Northwest region,” Traw said, adding that a joint study between ODFW and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game indicated that anglers took an estimated 2,800,000 crappies from Brownlee last year. “ That’s a lot of fish,” he reasoned, “ but they didn’t really get an ac curate count because they never did count mine.” McCormach Slqagh on the Umatilla National Wildlife Refuge has long been a popular spot with warm water anglers, but rough fish-primarily carp—have kll buf taken over the fishery, says Umatilla NWR Biologist John Annear. Construction is to begin this year on a series of dikes that wiil span the 400-acre slough, essentially dividing it into smaller, more managable ponds to later be individually treated with the toxin rotenone, removing all fish. After several more suitable fish species’ have been reintroduced, the dikes will provide increased bank-fishing and wildlife-viewing access. “ We’ll have to put something back in there,” Annear said. “ We haven’t really decided what yet. I don't know that we’ll put any bass back in there since we’re pretty concerned with waterfowl production, and bass eat up a lot of birds. We’ll probably go with crappies, bluegills and perch and that sort of thing.” Annear said dike construction will begin later this spring, though the work shouldn’t limit continued public use of the area.
