Biological consultant for California-Oregon
Power company
Charles J. Hanel expressed the
belief that Oregon will soon be
forced to close Salmon fishing!
if continued low runs are re-1
corded next year. He gave this
predicition before a meeting of
the Jackson County chamber of
commerce roundtable on Mon
day noon.
Hanel said Washington has
closed salmon fishing during the
later part of the season this year
in order to allow a sufficient
spawning run. Oregon will be
forced with the same problem
next year if no improvement is
noted, he said.
Hand's job with COPCO is
to be coordinator between the
state game commission and the
company when construction is
planned which will block a fish
migratory route. He said a num
ber of COPCO's power installa
tion are far enough upstream so
no damage results to the routes.
He said fishing has been im
proved in most cases because of
the creation of large lakes be

fish life. All lakes now planted
with fish have been surveyed
