These rules are established to guide management and
				conservation of steelhead (
Oncorhynchus mykiss
) in Oregon. It
				is the policy of the State of Oregon that steelhead be managed as a game fish.
				This management plan fulfills OAR 635-007-0515 which states resources of the
				state shall be managed according to management plans. Additional guidance is
				provided by Fish Management Goals (635-007-0510), Natural Production Policy
				(635-007-0521 through 635-007-0524), Wild Fish Management Policy (635-007-0525

Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 635 - DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE › Division 500 - FISH MANAGEMENT PLANS › Section 635-500-0015 - Steelhead Habitat Protection Policy

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
The Department recognizes that attrition and degradation of
				habitat is a serious threat to maintenance of healthy and diversified
				populations of steelhead. Implementation of state and federal laws for
				conservation of fish habitat, including those contained in the Wildlife and
				Commercial Fishing Codes, is essential to sustaining a strong habitat base.
				Therefore, consistent with OAR 635-007-0515(6), the Department will maintain or
				enhance the total total capacity of habitats supporting steelhead trout in
				Oregon by cooperating fully with other agencies to implement laws and develop
				coordinated resource management programs. The Department will also work with
				private organizations and individuals to achieve, where possible, mutually
				satisfactory solutions to conflicts between the objectives of other parties and
				this policy.

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
The Department shall proceed with programs and other efforts to
				achieve the following statewide goals and objectives, consistent with
				applicable law, agency policy and rule, and recognizing funding priorities for
				the agency. Goals of steehead management are to:
(1) Sustain healthy and abundant wild
			 populations of steelhead. The Steelhead Management Plan defines "healthy
			 population" as a population that maintains a high level of productivity and
			 adaptive capacity. Objectives under this goal are to:
(a) Protect and restore spawning and rearing
			 habitat;
(b) Provide safe migration
			 corridors;
(c) Protect wild
			 populations from overharvest;
(d)
			 Protect wild steelhead populations from detrimental interactions with hatchery
			 fish; and
(e) Monitor the status of
			 wild steelhead populations so that long-term trends in populations can be
			 determined:

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
Management options for protection and enhancement of wild
				stocks are contained in OAR 635-007-0525. In addition, the following guidelines
				by management option apply only to management of nonendemic warmwater game
				fishes:
(1) Option (1)(a) of OAR
			 635-007-0525 -- Manage for wild fish:
(a) The
			 intent of management under this option is to insure that the adaptability of
			 wild stocks is not diminished by hatchery stocks;
(b) Wild stocks will be used to establish
			 populations. Donor stocks that show life history or behavioral characteristics
			 believed to improve survival and growth of populations in the basin must be
			 used;
(c) Any nonlocal stock
			 purposed as a donor will be reviewed for:
(A)
			 Life history characteristics in comparison to local stocks;
(B) Goals of the introduction;
(C) Estimated costs; and
(D) Possible consequences on the fish
			 management objectives for all species in the basin.
(d) If production of wild fish in the basin
			 is believed to be limited by some existing habitat condition, attempts to
			 increase abundance of fish will consist of improvements to habitat;
(e) If production of wild fish in the basin
			 is believed to be lower than the present habitat can support, short-term
			 stocking of fry, fingerling, or adults may be used in an attempt to achieve
			 maximum sustained production. Under these circumstances, the stocking program
			 will not exceed five years. During the stocking period, an evaluation procedure
			 will be established to determine the effectiveness of the stocking program.
			 Donor stocks must meet the criteria listed in subsections (1)(b) and (c) of
			 this rule.
Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 635 - DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE › Division 500 - FISH MANAGEMENT PLANS › Section 635-500-0055 - Objectives of Warmwater Game Fish Management

The Department shall proceed with programs and other efforts to
				achieve the following statewide objectives, consistent with applicable law,
				agency policy and rule, and recognized funding priorities for the agency. The
				Warmwater Game Fish Management Plan will provide specific guidance for the
				production, harvest and management of warmwater game fish statewide, consistent
				with these objectives:
(1) Provide
			 diversity of angling opportunities, including opportunities for:
(a) Trophy angling. Management for trophy
			 angling will emphasize low harvest and maintenance of large fish in the
			 populations;
(b) Quality angling.
			 Management for quality angling will promote above average sizes and moderate
			 regulation;
(c) High yield angling.
			 Management for high yield angling will promote harvest for
			 consumption;
(d) Basic yield
			 angling. Management for basic yield angling will be low key, with minimal
			 regulation and little intervention in natural processes.

Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 635 - DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE › Division 500 - FISH MANAGEMENT PLANS › Section 635-500-0115 - Management Alternatives

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
In addition to the three broad management options in OAR
				635-007-0525 (Wild Fish Policy) the following six management alternatives,
				their criteria and guidelines, will be used in the management of trout:
(1) Wild Fish -- Management under the wild
			 fish alternative is exclusively for wild fish Option (1)(a) of OAR 635-007-0525
			 (Wild Fish Policy). These fish may have significant genetic value and some
			 populations will be recognized specifically for their uniqueness. Guidelines
			 which apply are:
(a) No hatchery-reared trout
			 will be released in these waters;
(b) Although ODFW does not have regulatory
			 authority over most activities that affect aquatic habitat, it will actively
			 pursue and promote habitat protection and enhancement. Habitat must be
			 protected or enhanced, using a subbasin-wide approach, to maximize the
			 productivity of the stock, conserve stock fitness and life history
			 characteristics, and to maintain healthy trout populations with multiple-age
			 classes. Specific coordination activities will be coordinated with land
			 management agencies;
(c)
			 Consumptive and nonconsumptive fisheries are encouraged. However, special
			 regulations may be necessary to protect stock fitness and life history
			 characteristics and to maintain healthy trout populations with multiple age
			 classes;
(d) No new introductions
			 of hatchery or wild species will be made unless proposed in a management plan,
			 evaluated to determine impact on wild trout stocks, and approved by the
			 Commission;
(e) The productive
			 capacity of waters in this alternative will be maintained or enhanced so no net
			 loss of natural fish production occurs;
(f) Unique native populations may require
			 additional recognition for protection.

			 genetic diversity and integrity of wild trout stocks throughout Oregon:
(a) Strategy 1 -- Identify wild trout stocks
			 in the state;
(b) Strategy 2 --
			 Minimize the adverse effects of hatchery trout on biological characteristics,
			 genetic fitness, and production of wild stocks;
(c) Strategy 3 -- Establish priorities for
			 the protection of stocks of wild trout in the state;
(d) Strategy 4 -- Evaluate the effectiveness
			 of trout management programs in providing the populations of wild trout
			 necessary to meet the desires of the public;
(e) Strategy 5 -- Update statewide physical
			 and biological surveys of wild trout waters under a standard sampling
			 program.

			 produced coho salmon sufficiently to prevent restrictions on fisheries
			 targeting other species or fin clipped hatchery coho, and sufficiently to
			 provide for future harvest in the North Umpqua Basin consistent with
			 635-500-6500 (Oregon Coast Coho
			 Conservation Plan for the State of Oregon).
