No steelhead retention on some rivers this fall While upriver Columbia River steelhead returns have improved this year, returns of hatchery and/or wild fish to several north- east Oregon tributaries are still expected to be low. Ex- tra protections are needed for both wild and hatchery fish. Portions of these rivers normally open to hatchery steelhead retention Sept. 1-Dec. 31 under permanent regulations will be closed to retention: John Day Riv- er: Closed to steelhead re- tention from the mainline railroad bridge at the mouth upstream to a marker ¼ mile below Tumwater Falls Umatilla River: Closed to steelhead retention from the Highway Bridge up- stream to Three Mile Falls Dam Walla Walla River: Closed to steelhead reten- tion Oregon/Washington border upstream to the con- fluence between the South and North Forks On the Umatilla, the hatchery re- turn is predicted to be low, so the closure is needed to meet hatchery brood stock goals and for out planting study efforts. This portion of the Umatilla River re- mains open for coho and fall Chinook under per- Ready to Purchase a New Home? manent regulations (from Sept. 1-Nov. 30) and most anglers are targeting those species not steelhead. The Walla Walla has been closed to steelhead reten- tion for the past five years and wild returns continue to be poor. reported to the Blue Moun- tain Interagency Dispatch Center (BMIDC) and John Day Interagency Dispatch Center (JDIDC). More smoke reports are expect- ed throughout the next few days as weather conditions continue to stay hot and dry. Local initial attack resources have been busy responding to these inci- dents. Most of the fires are staffed and remain small, less than one acre in size. Fire crews will monitor these fires and continue to watch for additional starts. The Walla Walla Ranger District received the most significant fire activity with 12 new fires reported. The largest of these fires, the Rattlesnake Ridge Fire, is approximately 95 acres in size and located 26 miles east of Pendleton, Oregon. The fire was reported on Aug. 22 at 7:40 a.m. and is burning in rugged terrain with grass and timber. Due to the difficult terrain, ac- cess to the fire is limited. Aerial resources were cru- cial yesterday in slowing the fire’s spread until fire- fighters could arrive on the ground. The fire was staffed yesterday afternoon with eight smokejumpers and an engine from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The fire’s behavior is moderate today, primarily consisting of creeping and smoldering with pockets of heavier fuels burning more actively within the fire perimeter. Smoke may be visible throughout the day. Firefighters will focus on securing containment lines, where terrain and fuels allow for crews to safely engage, while uti- lizing aircraft to slow fire spread and cool hotspots within the fire perimeter. Additional resources are ar- riving today, including the Umatilla Veterans Crew, an interagency hot shot crew, a dozer, a water tender, and four engines. The fire is currently 30% contained. Hot and dry condi- tions are expected to persist throughout the week. Fire officials want to remind everyone that the current fire danger rating remains at HIGH and Public Use Restrictions involving chainsaw use are in effect.
