We knoW fishing is never just about fish.

If it was, youd just go down to the supermarket like everybody else. If it was, pulling a fish out of the water wouldnt give you goosebumps. If it was, we wouldnt spend every waking moment making sure the time you spend with a rod in your hands feels like the meaning of life.

Fishing Is Big Business In Oregon

Sport fishing is big business in Oregon. In 2008 anglers in Oregon (resident and nonresident) spent over $782 million dollars on tackle, equipment and fishing-related travel. This positive economic impact is felt state-wide but is particularly powerful in many rural counties where up to 40 percent of all travel dollars are related to fishing, hunting or wildlife viewing activities. While the economic impact is significant, for most Oregon anglers fishing is about more than dollars its about sport, tradition, and time on the water with family and friends. In 2011 Oregon anglers experienced some memorable fisheries: This year we opened 10 coastal rivers to wild coho fishing the largest wild coho season in 15 years. Coastal coho remain listed under the federal Endangered Species Act, but 10 years of protection and restoration under the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds are paying off with big returns. With conservative quotas and careful management, anglers have been able to harvest wild fish while still protecting native populations. Trout fishing at places like Diamond Lake and Crane Prairie has rebounded in the last few years and anglers are once more catching the trophy-sized trout these lakes were well known for. In 2011, anglers caught a record number of summer steelhead (over 42,600 fish) on the Columbia River. To help promote this often-overlooked fishery, ODFW partnered with Travel Oregon and the Northwest Sportfishing Industry Association to encourage anglers to take advantage of this easily-accessible, world class fishery. The centerpiece of this effort was a website dedicated to summer steelhead fishing, with advice on tackle, techniques and river access. Finally, this summers ocean salmon season included some of the most significant Chinook salmon fishing since 2007 as well as some opportunity to harvest wild coho. As good as fishing was in 2011, we want it to be even better in the future. Thats why we continue to restore trout fisheries in waters overrun with illegally-introduced or invasive fish. In the past few years water bodies including Mann and Walton lakes and Antelope Flat Reservoir have been treated to eliminate illegally introduced fish and re-establish productive trout fisheries. Most recently, weve treated South Twin Lake and Stateline Reservoir in order to restore trout fisheries there and we expect excellent trout fishing in years to come. The 25-Year Angling Enhancement Plan calls for ongoing efforts to enhance our trout and warmwater fisheries and make them more accessible to anglers. In 2011, projects (many of them funded by the Fish Restoration and Enhancement Program) ranged from restoration of Sauvie Island ADA Fishing Piers to ensure long-term access, to recreational warmwater fishing opportunities for families and individuals in the Portland Metropolitan area, to access and facility improvements to many local valley trout and warmwater fishing ponds, to construction of a new youth fishing pond in Madras. Our hatchery programs will continue to play a big part in providing fishing opportunity. And we will continue to fine-tune our hatchery programs as scientists learn more about the impact hatchery fish can have on native fish populations. If you have fished in Oregon for a while, you already know that our hatchery releases have changed over the years as new information became available. We will continue to evaluate our hatchery programs, and make changes when necessary, to reflect new scientific findings. Hatchery strategies also will be considered as we develop a multi-species plan for coastal streams and rivers from Elk River north. This new initiative will consider several species of salmon and steelhead and develop a comprehensive coast-wide strategy for managing fish populations. We also may be able to identify wild fish populations upon which new or additional harvest opportunities exist. Oregon anglers enjoy some of the most diverse fishing opportunities in the country: trout and bass, ocean rockfish and halibut, salmon and steelhead, clams and crabs. We offer lots of resources to help you find your place to fish. Our website continues to offer updated fishing reports, how-tos and other information to help you plan an afternoon getaway or week-long trek. And one final note: Beginning this year, parking permits will be required at some ODFW wildlife areas (Sauvie Island, EE Wilson, Denman, Ladd Marsh and Summer Lake). Non-hunters will need to purchase a $7 daily or $22 annual parking permit to park in the areas. The funds will be used for facilities upkeep and to develop wildlife viewing opportunities, an activity growing in popularity. Anglers who purchase a combination fishing and hunting license or Sports Pac will receive a free annual parking permit as hunting license dollars already go to support wildlife areas. I hope you enjoy many days on the water in 2012. We have appreciated your support in the past and hope we can continue to earn it in the future. With every fishing license and fishing rod you buy, you are supporting our mission of providing and promoting fishing opportunity while conserving Oregons fish and wildlife resources. Thank you,

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE

This guide contains information you need to legally fish throughout Oregon. NOTE: Regulations may change on short notice during the year or season. If you want the latest on regulations or other fishing information, you may call the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife at 503-9476000 during normal businss hours or visit us at our Internet site: www.dfw.state.or.us. Oregon has three types of regulations for all fishing waters: General Regulations Include information on licenses, tags/harvest cards, permits, catch and possession limits, definitions, gear and bait restrictions, and harvest methods and hours. Zone Regulations Apply to entire geographical areas. There are nine zones in Oregon. Special Regulations Apply to specific bodies of water or portions of water within a zone. If a body of water or specific references to species, catch limits, length limits, seasons, or other specifications are not made in the Special Regulations for the zone, then Zone Regulations apply. Before you fish any body of water, always: 1. Check the Special Regulations first. If the waterbody you intend to fish is listed, then follow the Special Regulations but also check in the Zone Regulations for additional regulations which apply. 2. If a body of water is not listed in the Special Regulations for the zone, check the Zone Regulations. 3. Regardless of where you fish, be certain to review the General Regulations. Lets try an example. You want to go fishing at Crescent Lake in Central Oregon.
1. First, determine the zone where Crescent 2.

4.
5.
Lake is located. You locate the lake on the Central Zone map on page 59. Next, determine if there are any special fishing regulations for Crescent Lake. You find Crescent Lake listed on page 61. Crescent Lake has a trout daily catch limit that may include only one lake trout that must be at least 30 inches in length. You then turn back to page 60 and review the Zone Regulations for the Central Zone. By reading the Zone Regulations, you learn you may catch and keep only five trout per day with a minimum size limit of 8 inches, of which only one may be over 20 inches. Thus, if you catch and keep one lake trout that is at least 30 inches in length, you may still catch four other trout in Crescent Lake that are 20 inches or less. Can you fish Crescent Lake all year? On page 60, you note that the season column states lakes in the Central Zone are open to fishing for trout all year. What do you need to legally catch a trout in Crescent Lake? You note that there are no other restrictions listed in the Special or Zone Regulations. So you turn to pages 5-12 to review the General Regulations. In the General Regulations you learn: You need an angling license; You may not use live fish to catch fish in Crescent Lake; and You may only use one fishing rod, except by permit.

SALMON, STEELHEAD, STURGEON & HALIBUT ANGLERS: Upon landing and keeping an adult salmon, steelhead, legal size sturgeon, or halibut, the angler must IMMEDIATELY enter the codes for the species caught (ocean port or stream) and the month and day of catch. Record fish in consecutive order. (Southwest Zone Regulations: jack salmon landed and kept from Hunter Creek and Pistol River are required to be tagged and recorded). Use only 1 line per fish. Sturgeon and halibut anglers must record the fish length in inches. ENTRIES MUST BE RECORDED IN BALL POINT PEN ! NO ERASURES ALLOWED ! HANDLE WITH CARE: When you catch and release fish, you are preserving a valuable resource for other anglers to enjoy in the future. Use barbless hooks in order to easily release your catch. Land fish as carefully as possible. Remove the hook quickly and gently, keeping the fish underwater. See page 33 for Catch and Release guidelines. Carefully released fish may also be counted on spawning grounds, ensuring adequate escapement for conservation and management of fish populations.

Help Get the Lead Out

Lead and the environment While lead in fishing tackle, ammunition and shot has been shown to be toxic for some wildlife and lead is harmful to humans, the impact of lead on fish is unknown. However, it is known that lead is toxic to almost all organisms and has no biological benefit in any amount. Because of this, the use of lead in ammunition and fishing tackle is under heightened scrutiny and there have been some calls for increased regulation or prohibitions on its use.
Some Things to Think About.
In the meantime, anglers are encouraged to Get the Lead Out by switching to non-lead alternatives. Lead-free alternatives There are several alternatives to lead in fishing tackle, including tin, steel, bismuth, brass and tungsten. Ask for these alternatives at retailers and stores, or search the internet for on-line sources. Risks of lead tackle to humans Lead is toxic to children and adults. To help reduce the risks, follow these tips when making or using lead fishing tackle:
l l
Use non-lead fishing weights where possible. l Never discard old fishing gear into the water or on the bank. Wash hands thoroughly after handling lead sinkers or cleaning out your tackle box. l Take special precautions when making lead sinkers or jigs. Never melt lead inside your house, always work in a well-ventilated area and wear a respirator mask, and wash your body and your clothes after working with lead. ODFW is actively doing its part as well. All ODFW-sponsored youth and adult fishing events are lead-free.
Removing Sodium Sulfite from Cured Eggs

ured fish eggs have been a popular salmon and steelhead bait for decades. However, a recent study by ODFW and OSU has shown that a common ingredient in some cures sodium sulfite can be toxic at some levels when consumed by juvenile salmon and steelhead. Thanks to the work of the Northwest Sportfishing Industry Association and the egg cure manufacturers, guidelines have been developed for cured egg recipes that reduce sodium sulfites to levels that are much safer for juvenile fish. Many manufacturers are now transitioning to these new formulations. If youre making your own cure, we urge you to avoid using sodium sulfite. Borax is a good alternative that does not appear to cause mortality in juvenile salmon. If youre buying commercially cured eggs: l Look for products that are labeled Meets Oregon Guidelines and carefully follow label instructions. l Dont add additional sodium sulfite to already cured eggs. l Dont dump unused eggs in the river where they can be eaten by juvenile fish. l Consider the use of net bags to reduce the likelihood of juvenile salmon consuming the eggs. The effect of sodium sulfite on salmon and steelhead populations has not been determined. However, reducing sodium sulfite from cured eggs is a small step that individual anglers can take to help reduce salmon and steelhead smolt mortality.
ince it opened in 2005, scientists at the Oregon Hatchery Research Center have been studying the ways hatchery fish are reared or used in fishery management. Researchers at the center are now focusing their efforts on finding ways to minimize the effect hatchery salmon and steelhead can have on wild fish populations while still providing for healthy fisheries. To help find some of these answers, research at OHRC is focusing on: Can we prevent hatchery fish from spawning with wild fish? If the number of hatchery fish on spawning grounds can be reduced ODFW can provide more opportunity for anglers to harvest these fish in the lower rivers and estuaries. Should hatchery fish be as similar, or as different as possible from wild fish? For years, scientists and managers have debated whether wild fish should be used in hatchery broodstocks. It is also believed that selecting the right breeding pairs (fish that would have spawned together in the wild) at the hatchery may produce offspring that would have less impact on wild fish. While the answers to these questions may vary depending on the fishery, the OHRC will be focused on research that will help fishery managers make these choices. How can we establish healthy wild populations of salmon above barriers such as dams? ODFW and partner agencies are beginning to reintroduce salmon into several areas from which they had disappeared due to dams or
poor habitat. OHRC research efforts will help managers understand how hatcheries can help rebuild healthy salmon runs in these areas. trout is a trout, right? ODFW currently rears and A releases several types of trout around the state. The OHRC is focused on evaluating the trout stocking program to balance the quality of the fish with the harvest opportunity while minimizing the effects on wild fish, amphibians, and other animals in the areas they are released. The Oregon Hatchery Research Center is a cooperative effort between the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Oregon State University.

attention anglers: Tiger trout now available in Oregon!

in 2011 the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife initiated tiger trout stocking programs in Fish lake (sW Zone, page 41) and in phillips reservoir (ne Zone, page 70) to evaluate the fisheries enhancement potential and provide additional diversity in Oregons trout fisheries. tiger trout are highly piscivorous (fish eaters) from an early age and prey in shallow margins of lakes. predation on illegally introduced fish species such as the tui chub and yellow perch may help to increase survival and growth of stocked fingerling trout and reestablish productive trout fisheries. tiger trout are being managed under catch-and-release regulations to evaluate their fishery and management potential. please carefully release all tiger trout to ensure their survival.
Tiger trout description:

tiger trout are produced from a cross between a male brown trout and a female brook trout. these sterile hybrids have a distinctive, dark mazelike pattern all over a brownish, gray body. the under-belly is yellowish orange as are the pectoral, pelvic and anal fins. the tail fin is square. Coloration patterns may vary between males and females, and seasonally.

Attention Anglers !
Bull trout, one of Oregons native species, is listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Harvest of bull trout is severely restricted in Oregon as part of conservation efforts to recover this species and rebuild the fishery. Please refer to regulations for the Willamette, Central, Northeast, and Southeast Zone regarding Bull trout. Research has shown that most anglers, experienced as well as inexperienced, have difficulty distinguishing between bull trout and brook trout, an introduced species in Oregon. This Fish Identification is provided to help you distinguished between native bull trout and introduced brook trout. Please help recover bull trout and restore the fishery by taking the time to learn the characteristics. Your help is essential! Brook trout and bull trout both have light spots on a dark grey or olive-green background. In general, bull trout have a clear dorsal fin, although in some fish light marks may be seen on the dorsal fin. Bull trout lack the worm-like markings on their backs and the red on their paired fins that characterize brook trout. Brook trout may be identified by light colored worm-like marking on their back, dark wavy lines on the dorsal fin, and red on the paired fins.
Introduced Brook Trout

Dark marks on dorsal fin Worm-like markings on back
Red on paired fins
Native Bull Trout

No dark marks on dorsal fin
No red on paired fins
Good Fishing Depends on Clean Water
Many of our rivers, lakes, and coastal areas are experiencing algae blooms that cover our favorite fishing spots with green slime and cause fish kills and dead zones where no aquatic life can survive. The cause is usually nitrogen and phosphorus pollution that comes from farm and lawn fertilizers, septic systems, animal waste, and sewage treatment plants. Everyone can do their part for clean water by reducing fertilizer use, preserving plants along shorelines, and picking up pet waste. Supporting water quality protection supports great fishing!

SNAKE RIVER ZONE

Description:
The Snake River Zone is all the waters of the Snake River from the Oregon-Washington border upstream to the Oregon-Idaho border. The boundary between the Snake River and its tributaries is defined as a straight line across the mouths of all rivers. The Snake River Zone includes the portions of the Burnt and Powder rivers downstream of the Huntington-Richland Road near their mouths and includes the portion of Pine Creek downstream of the Oxbow Bridge.
Instructions:
1. Where the Snake River forms the boundary between Oregon and Idaho, the following rules apply:
a. License of either state is valid in the Snake River when angling from a floating device. However, when fishing tributaries, sloughs or from sloughs or from lands within either state, the angler must be licensed by the state where the waters (or land) are located. b. Anglers must follow the rules of the licensing state. c. Anglers are restricted to one daily catch limit, even if licensed by both states. d. Anglers may launch and take out their boats from either state, regardless of licensing state. 2. See health advisories on page 20.

Freshwater Angling Ethics

Enjoying angling in Oregons waters brings with it some responsibilities. To ensure viable fish populations and continued fishing opportunities, all Oregonians are encouraged to make a personal commitment to the care of the states fish and their habitats. Positive voluntary efforts can reduce the necessity for future mandatory regulations. Here are some guidelines to consider when pledging a personal code of ethics one that reflects your values and your respect for Oregons natural places. Know and follow all state angling rules and regulations. Call: 1503-947-6000 or visit ODFWs website at: www.dfw.state.or.us. Protect Oregons waters from pollutants and waste. Dispose of all trash, including fishing line and tackle, at collection stations or disposal sites. Ask first! Do not trespass on private land. Be courteous to other anglers, boaters, hikers and campers. Remember that warm water conditions can stress salmon, steelhead and trout. Seek cooler waters during summer months, especially early in the day. Clean angling equipment and boats. Disinfect wading boots to prevent the spread of aquatic hitch hikers such as weeds and diseases. See page 65 for details. Report angling violations to the Oregon State Police at: 1-800452-7888. Avoid actively spawning fish. Teach future generations how to enjoy and conserve Oregons fish and their habitats. Using Tackle Use barbless hooks so you can easily release your catch. Use pliers to pinch down barbs. Use tackle strong enough to bring your fish in quickly and gently. Removing Hooks Land fish as carefully as possible. Avoid removing fish from the water, but if you must, use a cotton or rubber net not nylon Keep your hands wet when handling fish. If taking a photo, cradle the fish at water level and quickly take the picture. Remove the hook quickly and gently while keeping the fish under water. Use long-nosed pliers or hemostats to back out the hook. If a fish is hooked deeply, cut the line near the hook, which will dissolve. Reviving Fish Point the fish into a slow current or move it back and forth until its gills are working and it maintains its balance on its own. Be patient! When possible, let it swim out of your hands.

Introduce a friend,
By keeping shorelines natural, you can help protect water quality and improve fish habitat. A shoreline without trees and shrubs can get washed away, making the water muddy and unsuitable for fish. If you live near a lake or river, plant a buffer strip along the waters edge using trees, shrubs, wildflowers or other native plants. Trees and other vegetation filter pollution and provide shade, shelter, habitat and food critical for salmon, steelhead, trout and other fish to thrive and reproduce. Keep your favorite fishing spots well vegetated! For more tips and information visit the weeb at: http://water.epa.gov/ type/lakes/index.cfm
Natural Shorelines Are Good For Fishing

OREGON DISABILITIES HUNTING AND FISHING PERMIT INFORMATION

In order to be considered a person with a disability under the wildlife laws, a person shall provide either: 1. Written certification from a licensed physician, which states that the applicant: a. Is permanently unable to walk without the use of, or assistance from, a brace, cane, crutch, prosthetic device, wheelchair, scooter or walker; b. Is restricted by lung disease to the extent that the persons forced expiratory volume for one second, when measured by a spirometer, is less than 35 percent predicted, or arterial oxygen tension is less than 55 mm/Hg on room air at rest; c. Has a cardiac condition to the extent that the persons functional limitations are classified in severity as Class III or Class V, according to standards established by the American Heart Association; d. Has a permanent, physical impairment that prevents the person from holding or shooting a firearm or bow or from holding a fishing rod in hand; or e. Has central visual acuity that permanently does not exceed 20/200 in the better eye with corrective lenses, or the widest diameter of the visual field is no greater than 20 degrees; or 2. Written proof that the last official certification of record by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs or any branch of the Armed Forces of the United States shows the person to be at least 65 percent disabled (ORS 496.018). The Oregon Disabilities Hunting and Fishing Permit is not a license or tag. Anglers must still obtain an angling license and/or Combined Angling Tag (if angling for salmon, steelhead, sturgeon or pacific halibut). Hunters also must still obtain a hunting license and apply for and/or purchase appropriate tags prior to specified tag sale deadlines to hunt in controlled and general big game seasons. You must be in possession of your Oregon Disabilities Hunting and Fishing Permit, license, and tag while you are angling or hunting (even holders of a Disabled Veteran/Pioneer license and tag). All license and tag fees are at regular rates. A licensed angler who possesses a valid Oregon Disabilities Hunting and Fishing Permit is allowed to angle from an anchored craft in waters where angling from a floating device is prohibited by ODFW. This allowance does not supersede safety or security regulations enacted by other agencies. Licensed angers who possess a valid Oregon Disabilities Hunting and Fishing Permit may also fish during authorized open fishing seasons from the Nehalem Hatchery Barrier Free Fishing Platform on the North Fork Nehalem River.

COLUMBIA RIVER ZONE

Description:
The Columbia River Zone is all waters of the Columbia River upstream from a north-south line through Buoy 10 at the river mouth and includes those portions of tributaries (including lakes) downstream from the mainline railroad bridges near the tributaries mouths except for the Willamette (including Multnomah Channel), Sandy, Hood, Deschutes and Umatilla river systems. The Columbia River Zone includes downstream from Hwy 730 on the Umatilla River and from Interstate 84 on the Deschutes River. The boundary is a straight line across the mouths of the Willamette (including Multnomah Channel), Sandy and Hood rivers. Oregon and Washington state waters are defined by the state line which lies within the waters of the Columbia River. In the area from the mouth upstream to Altoona, WA (Rivermile 24), the state line is near the Washington shore. In the area from Altoona, WA upstream to above McNary Dam (except near mainstem dams) the state line is in the middle of the ship channel.
Instructions:
1. In the Columbia River where it forms the state boundary line, not including tributaries, sloughs and lands, the following rules apply:
a. License and tags of either state are valid except when the other states season is closed; b. Anglers must follow the rules of the state in which they are fishing; c. Anglers are restricted to one daily catch limit for all fish species from the Columbia River, even if licensed in Oregon and Washington; d. Anglers are restricted to one annual catch limit of white sturgeon from the Columbia River and the lower Willamette River including Multnomah Channel and the Gilbert River, even if licensed in Oregon and Washington; e. Anglers with a valid resident or non-resident license issued by either Oregon or Washington may launch or take out their boats from either shore. 2. When fishing on tributaries, sloughs or from the land of a state, the angler must be licensed by that state and obey all angling regulations of that state. 3. For the mainstem Columbia River salmon and steelhead fishery upstream of the Rocky Point-Tongue Point line to McNary Dam from February 15 through June 15, it is unlawful when fishing from vessels which are less than 30 feet in length, substantiated by U.S. Coast Guard documentation or Marine Board registration, to totally remove from the water any salmon or steelhead required to be released. Note: Mainstem Columbia River fisheries for salmon, steelhead and sturgeon are co-managed by the Oregon and Washington Departments of Fish and Wildlife and the four Treaty Tribes, represented by the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission. Based on discussions among the co-management agencies, Oregon may adopt in-season changes to sport fishery regulations in the Columbia River. Regulation changes can occur on short notice and will be made available to ODFW field offices, the news media and license agents. Anglers can check the status of regulations prior to fishing the Columbia River by checking the ODFW web site: www.dfw.state. or.us for these rules, or calling 503-947-6000 during normal business hours.

State and Federal Law Requires Social Security Number Collection

Federal and state laws require ODFW to collect the Social Security number (SSN) of applicants for hunting and fishing licenses. These laws were enacted as part of a nation-wide effort to improve child support compliance. Social Security numbers will not be displayed on licenses or disclosed except as required by state or federal law. Instead, a Hunter/Angler ID number is printed on all licenses, tags, permits, etc. This is your permanent identification number. It is the primary number for identifying you in our system and maintaining your license history. Bring any 2011 license or tag to any Point-Of-Sale (POS) license agent when applying for 2012 licenses and tags. You will be quickly identified within the system and avoid delays.

BAIL SCHEDULES
Most violations of the wildlife and commercial fishing laws and regulations are Class A Misdemeanors, punishable by a maximum $6,250 fine and a maximum sentence of confinement to the county jail of one (1) year. There is no scheduled bail and mandatory court appearance is required if charged as a Class A misdemeanor. Violations of the wildlife and commercial fishing laws and regulations charged as violations rather than Class A Misdemeanors due to the absence of culpable mental state, or at the direction of the district attorney, have the following bail schedules: $110 Violations that do not involve the "taking" of wildlife. $160 Violations that involve the "taking" of non-game mammals or game birds, and violations relating to the size or quantity limits for fish or shellfish, other than size and quantity limits for salmon, steelhead trout and sturgeon. $435 Violations that involve the "taking" of wildlife other than non-game mammals and game birds, and violations relating to the size or quantity limits for salmon, steelhead trout and sturgeon. Also, violations of the non-resident licensing requirement and obstructing the taking of wildlife.

Description:
MARINE ZONE
The Marine Zone consists of the Pacific Ocean, coastal bays, and beaches.
Instructions:
zone. If specific references to a body of water, species, catch limits, length limits, seasons, or other specifications are not made in the Special Regulations for this zone, then Zone Regulations apply. 2. Read the following Regulations for this zone. 3. Always read the General Regulations, pages 5-12, which apply to all zones, for information about licenses; tags and permits; definitions; catch and possession limits; gear and bait restrictions; and harvest methods and hours, before going fishing. 4. Emergency or permanent rules adopted since these rules were printed may supersede these regulations. Anglers may call ODFW headquarters or regional offices at the numbers on page 4 of these regulations, or check the ODFW web site, www.dfw.state.or.us for these rules, or call 503-947-6000 during normal business hours. Marine regulations will also be included in the 2012 Oregon Sport Ocean Regulations for Salmon, Halibut, and Other Marine Species which will be available in Summer 2012.
1. The ocean is separated from rivers and bays by:
a. Normal high tide lines along coastal beaches, where there are no jetties; b. The ends of the jetties, where they exist, except for the Columbia River; c. A north-south line running through Buoy 10 in the Columbia River. 2. License requirements for those 14 years or older for this zone are: a. An Oregon angling license is required to angle for or land any fish species except smelt; b. A license is required to harvest shellfish. Permits are required as listed under abalone, clams, mud and ghost shrimp, and intertidal invertebrates in the following table. Contact ODFW in Newport 541-867-4741, Charleston 541-888-5515, or Astoria 503325-2462 for information. 3. Persons coming ashore in Oregon with ocean caught fish or shellfish are subject to all Oregon sport fishing and licensing regulations. 4. All areas are open except those areas listed under Season, Special Regulations or closed by a Public Health Advisory. 5. Oregon Dept. of Agriculture Public Health Advisory for shellfish: a. Any estuary or beach with a health advisory will be closed immediately until the advisory is removed; b. For current information concerning shellfish health advisories, call 503-986-4728 or 1-800-448-2474. 6. Barbed hooks are allowed when angling for marine fish except as noted for salmon and steelhead. 7. In the waters of the Pacific Ocean and in the Columbia River upstream to a line projected from Rocky Point on the Washington bank through red buoy 44 to the navigation light at Tongue Point on the Oregon bank, each angler aboard a vessel may continue to use angling gear until the daily limit of fish for all legally licensed and juvenile anglers aboard has been achieved. However, no individual angler may exceed any personal daily bag limit or land fish that contribute to another anglers limit (anglers who have retained a species limit must pass their rod to an angler who has not reached a limit prior to the fish being landed (netted or boated), or they must release the fish). 8. It is unlawful for any person to fish for, or take and retain any species of salmon, Pacific halibut or Marine Fish while possessing on board any species not allowed to be taken in the area at the time. 9. These angling regulations apply within the states Fisheries Conservation Zone, which extends 50 miles from shore. In addition, some fisheries are co-managed with the federal government, so the regulations may apply out to 200 miles from shore. 10. It is unlawful: for anglers fishing from a boat to mutilate fish so the size or species cannot be determined prior to landing; to transport mutilated fish across state waters; and for anglers fishing from shore to mutilate fish so that size or species cannot be determined prior to reaching their automobile or principle means of land transportation, and having completed their daily angling. This does not apply to herring, anchovy, smelt and sardine.
Harvest Caps and In-Season Changes:
Annual state and federal harvest caps are set for sport fisheries including black rockfish, yelloweye rockfish, canary rockfish, cabezon, greenlings and others. When a species harvest cap is reached or is being approached, an in-season regulation change may be implemented to stop or slow the harvest of that species. In-season changes may include (but are not limited to) reduced bag limits, a change in size limits, non-retention of a particular species, area closures and season closures.

CLEAN, DRAIN, DRY

Hello Fish, Invasives Goodbye!
Invasive species replace native species and destroy habitat for native sport fish.
The estimated damage from invasives worldwide totals $1.4 trillion 5 percent of the global economy. Invasive species can be transported by boats, vehicles, and YOU!
HOW YOU CAN HELP!

Learn to identify invasive species in your area. Clean, drain, and dry all equipment before leaving home. Fish in designated waters and travel on established roads and trails. Never release plants or animals, including bait. Thoroughly inspect all boats, vehicles, animals, clothing, and equipment, including waders, before leaving your fishing location.
