Or. Admin. R. 635-023-0090 – Inclusions and Modifications

(1) The current annual Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations provide requirements for the Columbia River Zone. However, additional regulations may be adopted in this rule division from time to time and to the extent of any inconsistency, they supersede the current annual Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations.
(2) Seasonal closures prohibiting angling may be enacted to provide additional protection for upriver summer steelhead. When enacted, closures will be from July 15-September 15 in Oregon waters at the mouths, and in the lower reaches of Columbia River tributaries as specified in sub-section (3)(a) through (3)(f) below.
(3) The closures will be in the lower reaches of Eagle Creek (Central Zone), Herman Creek (Columbia Zone), and the Deschutes River (Central Zone), and adjacent areas of the mainstem Columbia River (Columbia River Zone) as described below:
1. (a) Eagle Creek. That portion of Eagle Creek (Central Zone) from the angling deadline in Eagle Creek (200 feet downstream of hatchery fishway entrance) downstream to the mouth at the mainline railroad bridge.
2. (b) Eagle Creek mouth: That portion of the mainstem Columbia River (Columbia River Zone) adjacent to the mouth of Eagle Creek from the mainline railroad bridge northwest to a line projecting from a marker on the Oregon shore approximately 200 feet downstream of Eagle Creek, through red navigation buoy #4, and terminating at a marker on the Oregon shore approximately 325 feet upstream of Eagle Creek.
3. (c) Herman Creek: That portion of Herman Creek (Columbia Zone) from the mainline railroad bridge downstream to markers at mouth.
4. (d) Herman Creek Lagoon: That portion of the mainstem Columbia River (Columbia River Zone) adjacent to the mouth of Herman Creek commonly referred to as Herman Creek Lagoon east of a line from the northwest tip of the jetty, south to a marker on the Oregon shore.
5. (e) Deschutes River: The lower Deschutes River (Central Zone) from markers at the lower end of Moody Rapids downstream to the mouth at the Interstate 84 Bridge.
6. (f) Deschutes River mouth: That portion of the mainstem Columbia River (Columbia River Zone) adjacent to the mouth of the Deschutes River from the Interstate 84 Bridge north to a line projecting from the flashing red navigation marker #2 located approximately 1.5 miles downstream of the Deschutes River mouth on the Oregon shore, upstream to the red navigation marker #4, then to the lower South Channel Range “B” marker located on the Oregon shore approximately 0.7 mile upstream of the Deschutes River mouth.
(4) Except as described above, other permanent rules apply except for those areas within the Columbia River Zone which are subject to annual regulations described in OARs 635-023-0095, 635-023-0125, 635-023-0128, and 635-023-0130 and those areas within the Central Zone which are subject to any permanent rule modifications within OAR 635-018-0090.
(5) Nothing in this rule precludes the Department from recommending or enacting, as needed for conservation purposes, protective measures for Columbia River steelhead not described in this rule.
