Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVoss The Army Engineers finally have come out with their tentative flood control plan for the Kogue river basin. The plans calls for a dam at Lost creek on the main stem of the Rogue, a dam on Elk creek, one on Little Butte creek called Lake creek dam, Meadows dam on Evans creek, and Copper dam on the Apple gate river. These are all multi-purpose projects and they all provide benefits to flood control, irrigation, and recreation. Copper and Lost creek will generate power, while at present, Copper is the only one to have benefits for fish life. NOT ALL THERE Th. engine haven't figured out the economic data for all lh site but they think they are feasible according to the laws under which the Engineers oper ate. There is quite a dearth of the type of information needed by. any conserva tion group in order for them to decide whether the plan is an acceptable one or not. SINS OF OMISSION There are a few things '. would be happy to see in the completed plan, among which is a maximum on. the amount of water to be taken by the irrigation interests. Another item which would be ap preciated by many would be a' fair allotment of stored water for increasing the low summer flow in the river. One might also wonder what the carrying capacity would be of the canal taking water out of the Rogue. Its size would be of interest to many. would also hope that the man agement of these projects would be a joint affair and ot under the sole jurisdiction of the bureau of reclamation. LET'S SET A PRECEDENT Under the change in laws governing . use of Rogue river water it is now pos- sible to withdraw water for fish and wldlife use. I can ee no reason why the game commission or fish commmision could not ask for a certain amount of water to be withdrawn for the benefit of our two fam ous ' anadromous fish runs, the spring chinook salmon and the summer steelhead. The way is certainly open for just such a move if it is needed. DRAGGING FEET Right now the question is whether or not the fish and wildlife service will allow economic benefits for the re lease of water from Lost creek for cooling effects and increasing minimum flow. Unitl there is definte evidence that this is not possible, we need not use the above method of withdrawal, but there are still other possibili ties that could be explored and worked out. We need these projects for their values in flood control, irrigation and fishlife benefits and there is no reason why a solu tion, cannot be. found which will be satisfacory to all of us. OUR OWN STEELHEAD The game commission is beginning . a definite pro gram aimed toward build ing up our summer steel head run with fish taken from the Rogue run during spring and early summer. Heretofore, the eggs used for this program were ob tained by other methods and it is believed that, this may have some bearing on why the returns from these plantings have been so small. Fish from other river stystems may find it difficult to . adapt to a transplanting. Leas tways, . they have made a poor re turn showing. - . Seven adult sieeelhead have been trapped at Gold Ray and taken to the Butte Falls hatchery and this will be continued until a total of 70 fish have, been trapped. They ' are pur posely being ' taken early in the run to insure getting .true spring run fish. .THE ANGLER'S LOG The Diamond lake road is open for the week end but may be closed next week in order to finish the work of clearing the slide. Diamond Lake Fishing has been picking up steadily and is good. Trolling flatfish or flies has been paying off. Three parties have limited out this week and most anglers are getting fish. Fish Lake Is very good. Anything seems to be taking fish but the best best is a 20 or 30 Colorado spinner in front of either trolling or casting from the boat. Water is clearing and going down. KJamath Lake Fishing is good. Biggest fish are caught on Andy Reekers or flatfish. Black flatfish are good in the eve-" ning. Six lunkers have been brought in this week run ning from 4 to 6 pounds. Three limits came in Wed nesday caught on FF&W. They averaged two to three pounds. Harriman's has no boats - or cabins available. Lake of the Woods Has been very good with fish running up to 21 inches. They are averaging about 15 and best luck seems to be with a green flatfish. Still fishing with eggs and trolling with FF&W, flatfish or triple teasers is paying off. Water skier infestation isn't too bad yet. All cabins are taken. Squaw Lakes Fair to good. Still fish ing with eggs is bringing in limits. Catfishing is spotty. A few have been caught on FF&W. Willow Lake Good but spotty. Best fishr ing is in the morning and eve ning. One boat brought in 30 fish Wednesday. Trolling flat fish, FF&W, or triple teaser does some good. Flies aren't getting too many although Dean DeBerry caught an I8V2 incher on a fly this week. Stillfishing with- eggs is good. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER Maybe a few fishermen ought to stop by the slide on the Diamond lake road and tell a couple of their best stories. I've heard -these are strong enough to stand up in court and if to they could be used to buttress the side of the road in the slide area. GOOD LUCK! Division Leadership At Stake in CP-KF Legion Mix Tonight Division leadership, or at least a share of it, will be at stake this evening when the Central Point Cheney Studs and Klamath Fals vie in an American Legion junior base ball game. And, both contin gents will fight to stay in the running for division honors when they collide at 8 pjn. at Cheney field here. Klamath presently shares the Area 4 southern division' lead with Grants Pass (each is 4-1) and can regain lone grasp on top spot with a win. How ever, Central Point. (3-1) can pull into a tie with Medford with a win over its KF foe. EP Swimmers To Be in Early Class Each Day Eagle Point Eagle Point boys and girls taking swim ming lessons at Hawthorne park pool in Medford July 6 17, all will be in the first classes of each day starting at 9 ajn., according to Tom Van Etten, city recreation director.
