Description
- Abstract: Lake Billy Chinook was created in 1964 when Portland General Electric Company (PGE) completed construction of Round Butte Dam on the Deschutes River. PGE operates the reservoir and adjoining facilities for electric power production. Situated approximately 8 miles southwest of the city of Madras, the lake has three arms formed by the Metolius, Deschutes, and Crooked rivers with respective lengths of 12, 8.5, and 6 miles. A majority of the adjacent lands are in federal, state and tribal ownership. Nine game fish species are found in Lake Billy Chinook. Of these, kokanee are by far the most abundant and widely distributed game fish species in the reservoir.

- Purpose: The need to develop fish management plans for major waters of the state is explicit in both the Fish Management and Wild Fish Management polices of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Fish management plans embody overall agency goals and objectives while providing management direction specific to individual water bodies. This new plan was developed with the help and concurrence of
the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon. ODFW shares management responsibility on the lake's Metolius arm with the Tribe. In addition, a citizen review group representing a variety of interests met periodically to review the plan as it was developed.
