H'o in search of a mylliii-al cliitriii tit Salem to secure better
fisliiiifr,
Tlie lot-til anglers do not make the record catches of flu
golden past catches that liave grown with 1 he rears. The
canneries at the mouth of the stream are putting up good
salmon packs. The angler reasons tlmt if they can get
fish, why can't he I They must be to blame. Therefore he
will ut the canneries out of business to make better sport
for himself. So he fishes in summer and legislates in
winter.
Finding it impossible to carry out his desires, he de
cides to take a whtick at the camierv, anywav, as the cause
of his poor luck. It represents capital always in Oregon
a lair subject to bait. .1 his year he has tormed a conibina
tioii with the irresponsible, predatory gilluetter and intro
duces a bill to give the latter a monopoly of fishing.
On behalf of the gilluetter, it can be said that the sein
ing grounds are owned by the
cheek upon extortion. With
regulate the price to be paid
the canncrv has is to close down -and the nettei's move to
some . ther river. As it is, they make from 1000 to $2000
tor lour mouths work.
On behalf of the cannery, it is argued that it is barred
from I he use of fish wheels, traps and other cheap methods
ol taking Jisli, utilized on other streams with whom Ihev
have to compete in selling their fish; they are barred from
taking si eel heads, a source of revenue in other streams;
that the margin ol prolit is small and that lurther restric
tions will make it unprofitable to operate; that seining
does not begin uiilil July 1 ."3, when the spring and summer
run of sleelhead that furnish tint angler sport have already
passed up tlie stream, and mat: out lew stecinead come in
during the seining season, which are restored to. the
stream, and that the total number bruised or lost is infin
itismal. To offset the salmon taken, large hatcheries are
maintained.
On behalf of lie angler,
are bruised iu the nets and
taking tish commercially benehts the sportsman.
Jt is admitted bv all that
past fish of all kinds were
although there were few restrictions, and those imposed
lor propagation, by the canneries themselves; that Com
niercial fishing was practiced
it is also admitted that, there
age in cut-fhroat, trout, which do not go down to the sea
and are not a commercial fish, and never taken in seines
or nets, as there is in steelheads. '
It must In; apparent, then, tlmt with increased restric
tions at the mouth ol'.the stream, 1 hat with the taking of
steelheads commercially barred, with the Josephine
county salmon season cut to sixty days from 120 days, with
no commercial fishing in Jackson .county, with hatchery
work doubled, there must be some other reason than the
commercial fishermen for the shortage of fish and this
must be conditions along the river itself.
Examination bears this out. Thanks to the auto and
the tourist, the number of anglers lias greatly increased,
but this does not alone account for the depletion. It is
found in the progress of irrigation. The number of irriga
tion ditches from the L'ogue and its tributaries lias in
creased from a score fifteen veal's ago to over 950. In
Jackson county alone, the county water master states,
there are 17"), excluding iiig Uutte and several other tribu
taries. Only half a dozen of these ditches are screened, and
each is destroying fish fry some of the larger ones, each
more than a hatchery can turn out.
Further restrictions tm commercial fishing may cripple
the, cannery, it will not materially improve angling in the
upper river. It will not restore' the thousands of young
fish annually dying iu alfalfa fields and orchards, ft can
not make for belter cut-throat fishing. This can only be
accomplished by screening the ditches.
.If our anglers, instead of spending all their money and
energy in futile efforts to protect the adult fish, would
show the same enthusiasm in protecting the fry the big
fish would take care of t liemselves. lint hunting the grail
is great winter sport.
