Oregon has three types of regulations for all fishing waters; special, zone and general regulations. Special regulations apply to specific bodies of water or portions of water within a zone. Zone regulations apply to entire geographic areas; there are nine zones in Oregon. General regulations include information on licenses, tags and permits, catch and possession limits, gear and bait restrictions, and harvest methods and hours. Before you fish any body of water, always: 1. Check the special regulations first. 2. If a body of water is not listed in the special regulations for the zone, check the zone regulations. 3. Regardless of where you fish, be certain to review the general regulations. Let s try an example.you want to go fishing at Crescent Lake in Central Oregon. First, determine the zone where Crescent Lake is located. You first attempt to find the lake in the Central Zone. You locate the lake on the Central Zone map. Next, determine if there are any special fishing regulations for Crescent Lake. You find Crescent Lake listed on page 55. Crescent Lake has a trout daily catch limit that may include only one lake trout that must be at least 30 inches in length.you then turn back to page 54 and review the zone regulations for the Central Zone. By reading the zone regulations, you learn you can catch and keep only five trout per day. Thus, if you catch and keep one lake trout that is at least 30 inches in length, you may still catch four other trout in Crescent Lake. Can you fish Crescent Lake year round? On page 54, you note that the season column states lakes in the Central Zone are open to fishing for trout all year. What do you need to legally catch a trout in Crescent Lake? There are no other restrictions listed in the special or zone regulations, so you turn to page 6 to review the general regulations. You learn you need an angling license, that you cannot use live bait to catch fish in Crescent Lake, and you can only use one fishing rod. Continue to thoroughly read the general regulations for other information regarding harvest methods and hours. If you read any regulations highlighted in blue, that simply means the regulations changed from If you want the latest on fishing information, you can call the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife for up-to-date recorded information about fishing at , or visit us on our Internet site: We wish you an enjoyable and successful fishing adventure!

3 GENERAL (STATEWIDE) REGULATIONS Instructions: 1. Read the Special Regulations for the zone in which you will be fishing. If the body of water (alphabetically listed) you intend to fish is not listed, then the section entitled Regulations for this zone applies. 2. Read the section entitled Regulations for this zone for the zone in which you will be fishing. 3. Always read the following General Regulations, which apply to all zones, for information about licenses; tags and permits; definitions of catch and possession limits; gear and bait restrictions; and harvest methods and hours, before going fishing.

These advisories were accurate at the time of publication of this document; however, interested persons should call the Oregon Health Division at for subsequent changes. Antelope Reservoir (Southeast Zone) - Due to mercury contamination, (a) pregnant women, children 6 years old or younger, and adults with kidney or liver damage should not eat any fish taken here; (b) children between 6 and 17 years old should not eat more than 2-1/2 ounces of fish (one 8-ounce meal) per month from here; and (c) healthy adults should not eat more than 5-1/3 ounces of fish per month (one 8-ounce meal every 6 weeks) from here. Columbia Slough (Willamette Zone) - Due to PCB levels in carp and black crappie the public is advised to reduce or avoid eating them. Exposure from eating these fish can be reduced by skinning, removing all fat, avoiding the fish eggs or internal organs, eating smaller amounts, and using cooking methods that encourage the escape of fats and oils from the meat. Cottage Grove Reservoir (Willamette Zone) - Due to mercury contamination, (a) pregnant women, nursing women and children up to 6 years old should not eat any fish taken from these waters; and (b) children older than 6 years old and healthy adults should not eat more than 1/2 pound (1 meal) of such fish per week. Dorena Reservoir (Willamette Zone) - Due to mercury contamination (a) children 6 years of age and younger, should not eat more than one 4-ounce meal every 4 weeks; (b) women of childbearing age should not consume more than one 8-ounce meal every 2 weeks; and (c) children older than 6 years, women past childbearing age, and other healthy adults may safely eat as much as an 8-ounce meal every 4 days.

8 East Lake (Central Zone) - Due to mercury contamination, (a) children under 6 years old should not eat more than one 4- ounce meal of fish every 10 weeks and should consider eating no fish from this lake; (b) children 6 years or older, women of child-bearing age, and pregnant or nursing women should eat no more than one 8-ounce meal every six weeks, (c) women past the age of child-bearing and other healthy adults should eat no more than 8 ounces of fish every 10 days; and (d) brown trout 16 inches in length or longer should not be eaten. Jordan Creek (Southeast Zone) - Due to mercury contamination, (a) pregnant women, children 6 years old or younger, and adults with kidney or liver damage should not eat any fish taken here; (b) children between 6 and 17 years old should not eat more than 2-1/2 ounces of fish (one 8-ounce meal) per month from here; and (c) healthy adults should not eat more than 5-1/3 ounces of fish per month (one 8-ounce meal every 6 weeks) from here. Lower Columbia River (Columbia River Zone) - Due to PCB, dioxin/furans, DDT, DDE and other organic contaminants found in fat, the public is advised to reduce or avoid eating fish from this area. Exposure from eating these fish can be reduced by skinning, removing all fat, avoiding the fish eggs or internal organs, eating smaller amounts, and using cooking methods that encourage the escape of fats and oils from the meat. This is especially directed toward women of child-bearing age, pregnant or nursing women and children up to 6 years old. Owyhee Reservoir (Southeast Zone) - Due to mercury contamination, (a) women who are pregnant or intend to soon become pregnant, nursing women, and children 6 years old or younger should not eat any fish taken here; and (b) children older than 6 years and healthy adults should eat no more than 8 ounces of fish six times a year from these waters. Owyhee River upstream of the reservoir to Three Forks (Southeast Zone) - (a) children 6 years old and younger should not eat more than one 4-ounce meal every 6 weeks; (b) children older than 6 years and women of childbearing age should not consume more than one 8-ounce meal every 3 weeks; and (c) women past childbearing and other healthy adults may safely eat as much as one 8-ounce meal every 5 days. Snake River, including Brownlee Reservoir (Snake River Zone) - Due to mercury contamination, (a) children 6 years of age and younger should not eat more than one 4-ounce fish meal every month; (b) all women of childbearing age, especially if they are pregnant, nursing or are planning to become pregnant should not eat more than one 8-ounce meal of fish every 2-1/2 weeks; and (c) women past the age of childbearing, children older than 6 years and all other healthy adults may safely eat as much as one 8-ounce meal of fish every 5 days or 6 meals per month. Willamette River and Coast Fork Willamette to Cottage Grove Reservoir (Willamette Zone) - Due to mercury contamination, (a) children 6 years of age and younger should not eat more than one 4-ounce fish meal every 7 weeks; (b) all women of childbearing age, including pregnant females and breastfeeding mothers, should not eat more than one 8-ounce fish meal per month; and (c) women past the age of childbearing, children older than 6 years and all other healthy adults may consume as much as one 8-ounce fish meal per week.
