Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 635 - DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE › Division 42 - COLUMBIA RIVER SYSTEM COMMERCIAL FISHERIES › Section 635-042-0010 - Fishing Gear

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) As used in
			 these Columbia River fishing rules, gill net includes drift gill net, floater
			 gill net, diver gill net, and is a monofilament or multifilament mesh net with
			 a cork and lead line which is in a position to drift with the tide or current
			 at all times while it is being fished. There must be sufficient buoyancy in the
			 corks and/or floats on the cork line so the net is free to drift with the
			 current. The lead or weight on the lead line of a gill net shall not exceed two
			 pounds in total weight on any one fathom, measurement to be taken along the
			 cork line of the net. However, should extra or added weights appear necessary
			 to operate a net, permission to use in excess of two pounds weight per fathom
			 of net may be granted by the Director upon written application which includes
			 adequate justification for the additional leads or weights. Tangle nets are
			 similar in design to drift gill nets but construction of the main net body is
			 limited to single-wall multifilament web with a reduced mesh size. For tangle
			 nets, red corks are required at 25-fathom intervals, and must be in contrast to
			 the corks used in the remainder of the net.
(2) It is
unlawful:
(a) For a gill net or tangle net in whole or
			 in part to be anchored, tied, staked, fixed, or attached to the bottom, shore,
			 or a beached boat; left unattended at any time it is fished; or attended by
			 more than one boat while being fished;
(b) To take any species of salmon from the
			 Columbia River for commercial purposes by any means other than by gill net or
			 tangle net, except when authorized;
(c) To fish more than one gill net or tangle
			 net from a licensed commercial fishing boat at any one time;
(d) To fish with or have on the boat while
			 fishing a gill net which exceeds 1,500 feet in length;
(e) To fish with or have on the boat while
			 fishing any gill net or tangle net of a mesh size not authorized for use at
			 that time, except:
(A) During December
			 1-March 31, while fishing during open salmon and/or sturgeon seasons, smelt
			 gill nets with a mesh size not more than two inches may be onboard the
			 boat.
(B) Nets with a minimum mesh
			 size of 9.0 inches may be onboard the boat.
(C) When specifically authorized, nets not
			 lawful for use at that time and area may be onboard the boat if properly
			 stored. A properly stored net is defined as a net on a drum that is fully
			 covered by a tarp (canvas or plastic) and bound with a minimum of ten
			 revolutions of rope with a diameter of 3/8 (0.375) inches or greater.
(f) Fish with or have on the boat
			 while fishing any gill net of a mesh size greater than 9-3/4 inches, except
			 that snagging nets as described in ORS
			 509.240 are permitted;
(g) Fish with or have on the boat while
			 fishing a gill net or tangle net which does not meet the construction
			 requirements as set forth in section (1) of this rule.
