ODFW limits fishing hours in some areas : vimarsana.com

SALEM — The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) has enacted emergency fishing regulations, as of July 1, to protect salmon, steelhead, trout and sturgeon that are at risk due to severe drought.
The regulations will be in effect until Sept. 30, but could be lifted earlier, or extended later, depending on conditions.
In some rivers and streams, fishing for salmon, steelhead, sturgeon and trout is not allowed from 2 p.m. until one hour before sunrise. This “hoot owl” regulation is designed to protect fish from stress when water temperatures are warmest, according to a press release from ODFW.
“There is a tough summer and early fall ahead for fish, and we want to take steps to help them survive,” said Shaun Clements, ODFW deputy administrator for inland fisheries. “We appreciate anglers following the regulations and being flexible with their plans to help fish this year.”
