Description

Abstract: The Chewaucan River is the largest stream in the Goose and Summer lakes basin. It originates on the east slopes of Gearhart Mountain and Deadhorse and Coleman rims in the eastern Cascades and flows northerly and then southeasterly 52 miles to terminate in Abert Lake. Fish management and public use opportunities in this section are limited. The 25 miles of river upstream from Paisley is 62 percent federally owned, with the remainder in private ownership. It contains native redband and hatchery rainbow trout, and provides an important trout fishery. The stream has been managed primarily for hatchery fish with no special angling regulations imposed to protect wild fish populations. This plan addresses only the portion of the Chewaucan River upstream from Paisley.In September 1983, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission accepted the Department's alternative to manage the Chewaucan River above Paisley for wild and hatchery trout.

Purpose: Report on the effectiveness of the current management plan and outline future objectives for the fishery.
