Master Plan for Angler Access
and
Associated Recreational Uses
This report details a plan that we hope can be followed to solve the access problem of the Pudding River Basin. Too, we hope that all agencies that are interested in retaining existing water access as well as providing additional facilities, whether they be municipal, county, or state will all join in a cooperative effort to carry out this plan in an orderly manner. It is probable that Land and Water Conservation Funds will be available on a 50-
50 matching basis. In order to acquire these funds, it will be necessary to apply through the Oregon State Highway Department.
The Pudding River Basin, located in the center of the Willamette Valley, is within close proximity to the large population centers of the Willamette
Valley. Numerous highways and county roads either cross or follow the major streams within the basin making them quite accessible by vehicle.
The Pudding River and its major tributaries originate in the lower Cascade
and flow in a northwesterly direction to enter the Willamette River 10 m:UE1s above Oregon City. Major tributaries of importance to the fishery in the
°t.i&-;.r-:Jin are the Molalla River 9 Butte Creek, Abiqua Creek and Silver Creek ..
Stream gradient is steep to moderate in the foothill sections dropping to l''ii:latively flat in the valley floor" Water quality is generally good in the upper sections of the streams. Due to the flat gradient and low summer flows
Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife Page 4 of 59 Master Plan Angler Access & Associated Recreational Uses - Pudding River Basin 1969 in the lower rivers, water quality is fair to poor in some sections of this area. The major fishery within this basin is for trout, both stocked and native. In 1968, the Oregon State Game Co·.mmission stooked over 25,000 legal-sized rain bow trout into the streams covered in this report. In addition, the Molalla River also has a late run of winter steelhea.d available to the angler. The Molalla River has the potential to become an important steelhead stream, when the improvements to the fish passage facilities at the Oregon City Falls are completed. There is also a light warm-water fishery and limited waterfowl hunting along some areas of the lower rivers. Access to the rivers is generally good due to the numerous roads throughout the basin, but as angling pressure increases additi~nal stream access will be needed. Twenty-four sites have been evaluated in. this access plan. Only four sites are considered complete at this time. Twenty additional sites have been. recommended for procurement or for additional development to meet the present and future needs of the public. The basin has been divided into three areas. The characteristics of each area have been described and a plan for public access is outlined in the follow ing sections.

The Pudding River flows northward through the eastern portion of the
Wi.llamette Valley floor and enters the Willamette River near Canby .. The
river has four major tributaries which originate in the Cascade foothills
and flow westward into the main river ..
The major highways within the basin are U.S .. Highway 99 E which
crosses near the mouth of the river and State Highway 213 which transects
the center of the basin. Numerous county roads, both paved and gravel,
either cross or follow the major streams in the basin making them quite
accessible by vehicle. 3 Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife Page 6 of 59 Master Plan Angler Access & Associated Recreational Uses - Pudding River Basin 1969 r, ') AREA I
Area I includes the lower main stem Pudding River from the mouth to river mile 45 and Little Pudding River. This entire section of the stream
lies in the Willamette Valley Floor. Stream gradient is very flat resulting in a slow sluggish meandering stream. Stream banks are primarily mud with very little rock in the stream. Water quality in this section is poor due
to industrial pollution, low flows and high water temperatures.
The fishery in this section of the stream consists of very light pres
sure on warm-water species in the main river and a light trout fishery in
the upper reaches of Little Pudding River. Other recreational uses in this area include waterf"owl hunting along some area.s of the lower Pudding River.
Under present conditions, access on this section of the river is ade quate; there are many road crossings where anglers can gain access to the
stream. If existing stream conditions were improved, additional sites may be needed. No sites will be recommended at this time.

Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife Page 7 of 59 Master Plan Angler Access & Associated Recreational Uses - Pudding River Basin 1969 AREA !I
This area includes the entire Molalla River drainage. The river originates
on the west slopes of the Cascades, flows in a northwesterly direction through
the Willamette Valley and enters the Pudding and Willamette Rivers 10 miles above Oregon City ..
The headwater streams in the mountainous areas have a fairly steep gradi
ent. The river in the foothill sections has an average gradient which drops to a relatively flat gradient in the Willamette Valley.
Angling in the Molalla River is primarily from the bank, although the
lower river (~an be drifted by boat during the winter and spring.. The fishery
consists of trout, both native and stocked, and winter steelhead .. Rainbow and
cutthroat trout dominate the catch in the upper river, whereas winter steel head a.nd rainbow trout make up the catch in the lower river., Between 10 and
15 thou.sand rainbow trout are stocked annually to supplement the native trout
f:tsherye The heaviest angling intensity occurs in the spring and summer, al
though the winter steelhead angling pressure has increased in recent years ..
Public access within the drainage is generally good with the exception of
the lower river .. Boat launching sites are needed in this area to provide
tter access and better utilization of the areas between the interspersed
lands which are available to the anglers.. Additional bank access is
a.1.so needed at key areas throughout the drainage.,
Twelve sites have been evaluated for this area. Only one of these sites
::Ls considered adequate at this time., A detailed description of these sites is
presented on the following evaluation sheets ..

This area includes the eastern tributaries of the Pudding River with the exception of the Molalla River which has been covered in Area II. These streams originate in the foothills of the Cascade mountains and flow in a northwesterly direction to enter the main stem Pudding River in the Willamette
Valley floore Streams included in this are are Butte Creek, Abiqua Creek,
Silver Creek and other minor tributaries. Stream gradient changes from mod erate in the upper sections to relatively flat in the valley. Stream flow is good in the spring, but becomes quite low in late summer and early fall.
The fishery in these streams is primarily on stocked rainbow trout and a few native cutthroat trout in the upper reaches in most of the streamso Angl ing pressure is heaviest in the spring and early summer becoming relatively light in late summer and fallo Abiqua Creek also has a small run of winter steelhead available to the angler in late winter or early spring. The minor tributaries, Bear Creek, Rock Creek, Drift Creek and Upper Pudding River have a very light, early spring, native cutthroat trout fishery utilized primarily by the landowners living along these streams.
The area is quite accessible from public roads, however, extensive pri vate ownership of river frontage requires the angling public to rely on acceas over private lands which could be closed at any time.
Twelve sites have been evaluated for this area. Three are considered adequate at this time and nine sites are recommended for development to insure angler use of this area.
The following evaluation sheets further describe each site 0
