P U B L IC N O TIC E
by Mark Bagett
Anglers at many eastern Oregon
locations may soon notice a marked im­
provement in their favorite fishery, or,
in some cases, in the way they are able
to use or access that fishery. 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.
