In Oregon, there is plenty of water for the most part.
Fish wars in Oregon are nothing like what California is facing. In Oregon, there is plenty of water for the most part.
Probably the biggest thing is the battle between commercial fishing interests (Netters) and the sport fishing interest (Sporties). The small number of Commercials have all the political clout, so they win. We (some of us) had to buy an extra fishing endorsement to buy the Commercials new nets (although they cooked the books to claim otherwise)... it's that bad.
that plan has some flaws imo, namely the adding of wild steelhead retention in 3 small streams.
The new coastal management plan is a bit weak on protection/management of Spring chinook, based on some sources. I think they do have a point.
Take care,
