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

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.

garding Restrictions, please

al Forest information ho-
