Description

Abstract: The 2016 run year of spring/summer Chinook salmon to Oregon Snake basin tributaries provided recreational (sport) harvest opportunity on Lookingglass Creek, the Wallowa and Imnaha rivers (Table 1). In recent years the Grande Ronde River was open to spring chinook angling however, due to limited harvest allotments, managers declined to open this fishery in 2016. Daily bag limits for all fisheries were two adipose fin-clipped chinook adults and five adipose fin-clipped jacks per day, with two daily limits in possession. Anglers were required to cease angling if they had retained a daily limit of marked adults. Lower Snake River Compensation Plan (LSRCP) ODFW- Eastern Oregon Fish Research (EOFR)

Purpose: We conducted statistical creel surveys following methods generally described in the Fisheries Management and Evaluation Plans (FMEP’s; ODFW 2011 and 2012) and the attached creel survey plan (Appendix A).
