ODFW Seeks Input On Fishery Management Actions

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is seeking to engage anglers and other stakeholders on potential fishery management actions for this year and into the future.  Returns of summer steelhead to areas above Bonneville Dam hit a record low in 2021, closing the Deschutes River to steelhead fishing for the first time since 1978 and impacting fisheries throughout the mainstem and tributaries, and another lo return is expected this year.  ODFW is asking anglers and other stakeholders to complete a listening survey by April 11 that is being conducted by the Oregon State University Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit.  On April 19 at 6 p.m., ODFW fish biologists throughout the Columbia Basin will present a webinar to discuss summer steelhead management, what was learned from the survey, decision frameworks for fishery restrictions and more. This webinar will be livestreamed over ODFW’s YouTube channel and include a Q&A session where fisheries biologists will answer questions submitted during the livestream.
