APPENDIX 6 MONITORING WORKSHEETS MONiTORiNG WORKSHEET MONITORING ELEMENT: Aquatic Resource/Sedimentation GOAL: No management related increases in stream sedimentation which will have a 20% shift in macroinvertebrate diversrty. AREA OF CONSIDERATION. Management Areas 3,4,5,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,15. RiSK INDEX High MONITORING QUESTIONS: Are management related increases in stream sedimentation having a detrimental effect on aquatic biota. SUGGESTED METHODS/INFORMATION SOURCES/REPORTING YEARS Macroinvertebrate sampling in cobbles and gravels of speclfic stream Sltes AVERAGE ANNUAL COST OF MONITORING ACTIVITIES: $15,000- 2 days collection of samples, 2 days of analysis, 1 day of evaluation for each station and 20 Stations per year at $lZO/day + $500 for equipment and $2500 for lab analysis.

    Upper Deschutes River Fish ManagementPlan Draft May22, 1996 Oregon Department of Fish and Wtldlife Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife Page 1 of 431 Upper Deschutes River Basin Fish Management Plan 1996 COMPLETED DISTRICT DRAFT 04/11/96 6:12:58 PM DESCHUTES RIVER from Wickiup Dam to Bend (North Canal Dam) including the tributaries Fall River and Spring River Overview This portion of the basin plan includes the Deschutes River from Wickiup Dam (RM 227) downstream to Bend (North Canal Dam, RM 164.8), Fall River, and Spring River. The Little Deschutes River, a major tributary which enters at RM 193, is not included because of its' length and connection with other waters in the basin. The Little Deschutes River will be presented in a separate section of the basin plan. In the Habitat and Fish Management sections of the following discussion, the Deschutes River will be divided into two sections; Wickiup Dam to Benham Falls (RM 181), and Benham Falls to Bend (North Canal Dam). The reason for this is based on stream morphology and changes in fish populations. Benham Falls is a high gradient natural cascade which separates the Deschutes River into two logical sections with low gradient above the falls and high gradient below. Similarly, fish population composition changes at Benham Falls with brown trout dominant above and rainbow trout dominant below. The remaining sections; location and ownership, fish stocking history, angling regulations, management issues, summary of alternatives and alternatives will be presented as (1) Deschutes River, and (2) Tributaries. In 1987, the Oregon legislature designated the section of Deschutes River from Wickiup Dam to General Patch Bridge, and from Harper Bridge to the north boundary of the Deschutes National Forest as a State Scenic Waterway.

    The ODFW Recreation Report

    Welcome to the ODFW Recreation Report FISHING, HUNTING, WILDLIFE VIEWING August 13, 2013 Warmwater fishing While trout fishing has slowed in many locations due to high air and water temperatures, warmwater fish like bass, bluegill and yellow perch continue to offer opportunities for good fishing. Our warmwater fishing webpage is a great place to get started, and you’ll find the latest condition updates here in the Recreation Report. Head out to the high lakes With temperatures high now might be a good time to head out to Oregon’s high mountains. Many mountain lakes available for day use or overnight camping that require only a short hike into them. Some of these waters get very little use, and anglers will often find the solitude incredible. If you plan to camp keep in mind that overnight temperatures at the higher elevation can be quite chilly. Maps should be available from the local U.S. Forest Service office. Be aware of fire restrictions because fire danger is high in many areas. 2013-14 Oregon Game Bird Regulations now online See the PDF on the Hunting page: http://www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/hunting/index.asp Archery hunters – Errors in the regulations on Chesnimnus bag limit, traditional equipment only area The 2013 Oregon Big Game Regulations contain errors in the archery section. On page 51, the “Traditional Archery Equipment Only” restriction should not be in the Columbia Basin, Biggs, Hood and Maupin Units—that restriction is for the Canyon Creek Area only. On page 79, the Chesnimnus hunt bag limit of “one bull elk” (hunt #258R) should be “one elk.” These errors were corrected by the Fish and Wildlife Commission in June.
