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water to be withdrawn for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!
