Inclusions and Modifications

(1) The 2011 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations provide requirements for sport fisheries for marine fish, shellfish, and marine invertebrates in the Pacific Ocean, coastal bays, and beaches, commonly referred to as the Marine Zone. However, additional regulations may be adopted in this rule division from time to time and to the extent of any inconsistency, they supersede the 2011 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations.

(2) For the purposes of this rule, a “sport harvest cap” is defined as the amount that may be impacted (combined landings and other fishery related mortality) by the Oregon sport fishery in a single calendar year.

(a) For 2011, the sport harvest cap for black rockfish is 440.8 metric tons.

(3) For the purposes of this rule, “Other nearshore rockfish” means the following rockfish species: black and yellow (Sebastes chrysolmelas); brown (S. auriculatus); calico (S. dalli); China (S. nebulosus); copper (S. caurinus); gopher (S. carnatus); grass (S. rastelliger); kelp (S. atrovirens); olive (S. serranoides); quillback (S. maliger); and treefish (S. serriceps).

(4) For the purposes of this rule a “sport landing cap” is defined as the total landings for a given species, or species group, that may be taken in a single calendar year by the ocean boat fishery. For 2011 the sport landing caps are:

(a) Black rockfish and blue rockfish combined, 481.8 metric tons.

(b) Other nearshore rockfish, 13.6 metric tons.

(d) Greenling, 5.2 metric tons.

(5) Effective Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at 11:59 p.m. retention of cabezon, as identified in subsection (4)(c) above, is prohibited in the ocean boat and estuary boat fisheries. Angling for and retention of shore-based cabezon is permitted.

(6) In addition to the regulations for Marine Fish in the 2011 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations, the following apply for the sport fishery in the Marine Zone in 2011:

(a) Lingcod (including green colored lingcod): 2 fish daily bag limit.

(b) All rockfish (“sea bass” “snapper”), greenling (“sea trout”), cabezon, skates, and other marine fish species not listed in the 2011 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations in the Marine Zone, located under the category of Species Name, Marine Fish: 7 fish daily bag limit in aggregate (total sum or number), of which no more than one be a cabezon from April 1 through September 30. Retention of yelloweye rockfish and canary rockfish is prohibited.

(c) Flatfish (flounder, sole, sanddabs, turbot, and all halibut species except Pacific halibut): 25 fish daily bag limit in aggregate (total sum or number).

(d) Retention of all marine fish listed under the category of Species Name, Marine Fish, except Pacific cod, sablefish, herring, anchovy, smelt, sardine, striped bass, hybrid bass, and offshore pelagic species (excluding leopard shark and soupfin shark), is prohibited when Pacific halibut is retained on the vessel during open days for the all-depth sport fishery for Pacific halibut north of Humbug Mountain. Persons must also consult all publications referenced in OAR 635-039-0080 to determine all rules applicable to the taking of Pacific halibut.

(e) Harvest methods and other specifications for marine fish in subsections (6)(a), (6)(b) and (6)(c) including the following:

(A) Minimum length for lingcod, 22 inches.

(B) Minimum length for cabezon, 16 inches.

(D) May be taken by angling, hand, bow and arrow, spear, gaff hook, snag hook and herring jigs.

(E) Mutilating the fish so the size or species cannot be determined prior to landing or transporting mutilated fish across state waters is prohibited.

(f) Sport fisheries for species in subsections (6)(a), (6)(b) and (6)(c) and including leopard shark and soupfin shark are open January 1 through December 31, twenty-four hours per day, except that ocean waters are closed for these species during April 1 through July 20, outside of the 40-fathom curve (defined by latitude and longitude) as shown on Title 50 Code of Federal Regulations Part 660 Section 384 Vol. 71, No. 189, dated September 29, 2006. A 20-fathom, 25-fathom, or 30-fathom curve, as shown on Title 50 Code of Federal Regulations Part 660 Section 391 Vol. 71, No. 189, dated September 29, 2006 may be implemented as the management line as in-season modifications necessitate. Ocean waters are closed for species in subsections (6)(a), (6)(b) and (6)(c) during July 21 through December 31, outside of the 20 fathom curve (defined by latitude and longitude) as shown on Title 50 Code of Federal Regulations Part 660 Section 391 Vol. 71, No. 189, dated September 29, 2006.

(g) The Stonewall Bank Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area (YRCA) is defined by coordinates specified in Title 50 Code of Federal Regulations Part 660 Section 70 (October 1, 2010 ed.). Within the YRCA, it is unlawful to fish for, take, or retain species listed in subsections (6)(a), (6)(b) and (6)(c) of this rule, leopard shark, soupfin shark, and Pacific halibut using recreational fishing gear. A vessel engaged in recreational fishing within the YRCA is prohibited from possessing any species listed in subsections (6)(a), (6)(b) and (6)(c) of this rule, leopard shark, soupfin shark, and Pacific halibut. Recreational fishing vessels in possession of species listed in subsections (6)(a), (6)(b) and (6)(c) and including leopard shark, soupfin shark, and Pacific halibut may transit the YRCA without fishing gear in the water.

(7) Razor clams may be taken by hand, shovel, or cylindrical gun or tube. The opening of the gun/tube must be either circular or elliptical with the circular gun/tube opening having a minimum outside diameter of 4 inches and the elliptical gun/tube opening having minimum outside diameter dimensions of 4 inches long and 3 inches wide.

Rules Amended: 635-003-0004

Subject: This amended rule implements a requirement to notify the Department, within one hour of landing, of incidental halibut caught during the troll salmon season, from July 29 through October 31, 2011. Notification shall include the vessel’s name and number; number of pounds of Pacific halibut landed; location of delivery; and estimated time of delivery. These modification are in response to recent federal regulation changes made by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA Fisheries).

Rules Coordinator: Therese Kucera—(503) 947-6033

635-003-0004

Inclusions and Modifications

(1) OAR 635-003-0005 through 635-003-0076 modify or are in addition to provisions contained in Code of Federal Regulations, Title 50, Part 660, Subpart H.

(2) The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 50, Part 660, Subpart H, provides requirements for commercial salmon fishing in the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon coast. However, additional regulations may be promulgated subsequently, and these supersede, to the extent of any inconsistency, the Code of Federal Regulations.

(3) This rule contains requirements which modify commercial salmon fishing regulations off the Oregon coast. The following modifications are organized in sections that apply to the ocean commercial salmon fishery in general and within management zones established by the Pacific Fishery Management Council and enacted by Federal Regulations (CFR, Title 50, Part 660, Subpart H).

(4) General Requirements, Definitions, Restrictions or Exceptions: Vessels prevented by unsafe weather conditions or mechanical problems from meeting management area landing restrictions, must notify the U.S. Coast Guard and receive acknowledgement of such notification prior to leaving the area. Notification shall include the vessel name, port where delivery will be made, approximate number of salmon (by species) on board, and estimated time of arrival.

(5) A rectangular area offshore is open to the retention of all chinook salmon consistent with seasons adopted by the Pacific Fishery Management Council in adjacent waters, except that prior to August 1 only fin-clipped chinook salmon may be retained in this area. This rectangular area extends from Twin Rocks (45º35’54” N. Lat.) to Pyramid Rock (45º29’48” N. Lat.) inside the 15 fathom depth contour.

(6) Humbug Mountain, Oregon, to Humboldt South Jetty: When the fishery is closed north of the Oregon/California border and open to the south, vessels with fish on board taken in the open area may request authorization to temporarily moor in Brookings, Oregon, prior to landing in California. Such vessels shall first notify the Chetco River Coast Guard Station via VHF Channel 22A between the hours of 0500 and 2200. Proper notification shall include the vessel name, number of fish on board, and estimated time of arrival.

(7) All vessels landing any Pacific halibut landed in the troll salmon incidental halibut season from July 29 through October 31, 2011 must report to ODFW within one hour of landing, by calling (541) 867-0300 ext. 271. Notification shall include vessel name and number, number of pounds of Pacific halibut landed, location of delivery, and estimated time of delivery.

(I) Weigh a sample of at least 20 glazed fish to obtain the glazed weight;

(II) Completely remove glaze from individual fish making up the sample;

(III) Re-weigh the sample to obtain the non-glazed weight;

(IV) Divide the non-glazed weight by the glazed weight to obtain the conversion factor;

(V) A separate conversion factor may be calculated for each size grade of a species, but may only be applied to landings of that size grade;

(VI) Documentation of this calculation must be retained with the dock receiving ticket.

(ii) A conversion factor of 0.95 must be applied when there are fewer than 60 individuals of any species or species group categorized in OAR 635-004-0033 in a single landing.

Youngs Bay Salmon Season

(1) Salmon and shad may be taken for commercial purposes in those waters of Youngs Bay as defined below.

(a) The open fishing periods are established in three segments categorized as the winter fishery, paragraph (A); the spring fishery, paragraph (B); and fall fishery, paragraph (C), as follows:

(A) Winter Season:

(i) Entire Youngs Bay: None scheduled.

(ii) Upstream of old Youngs Bay Bridge: None scheduled.

(iii) Walluski Area: None scheduled.

(B) Spring Season:

(i) Entire Youngs Bay: None scheduled.

(i) 7:00 a.m. Wednesday August 3 to 7:00 p.m. Thursday August 4 (36 hours); 7:00 a.m. Wednesday August 10 to 7:00 p.m. Thursday August 11 (36 hours); 7:00 a.m. Wednesday August 17 to 7:00 p.m. Thursday August 18 (36 hours); 7:00 a.m. Wednesday August 24 to 7:00 p.m. Thursday August 25 (36 hours); and 7:00 p.m. Monday August 29 through 7:00 a.m. Friday September 2, 2011 (3.5 days).

(b) The fishing areas for the fall fisheries are:

(A) From August 3 through September 2, 2011 the Youngs Bay fishing area includes all waters from the new Highway 101 Bridge upstream to the upper boundary markers at Battle Creek Slough, except for closed waters southerly of the alternate Highway 101 Bridge (Lewis and Clark River).

(2) Gill nets may not exceed 1,500 feet (250 fathoms) in length and weight may not exceed two pounds per any fathom. A red cork must be placed on the corkline every 25 fathoms as measured from the first mesh of the net. Red corks at 25-fathom intervals must be in color contrast to the corks used in the remainder of the net. Nets not specifically authorized for use in this fishery may be onboard the vessel if properly stored. A properly stored net is defined as a net on a drum that is fully covered by a tarp (canvas or plastic) and bound with a minimum of ten revolutions of rope with a diameter of 3/8 (0.375) inches or greater. Nets fished any time between official sunset and sunrise must have lighted buoys on both ends of the net. If the net is attached to the boat, then one lighted buoy on the end of the net opposite the boat is required.

(a) It is unlawful to use a gill net having a mesh size that is more than 9.75-inches through August 25, 2011; and more than 6-inches thereafter.

(b) The use of additional weights or anchors attached directly to the leadline is allowed between markers located approximately 200 yards upstream of the mouth of the Walluski River and the upper deadline at Battle Creek Slough during all Youngs Bay commercial fisheries.

(3) White sturgeon may not be possessed or sold.

(4) All waters in Youngs Bay are under State of Oregon jurisdiction and are open to Oregon and Washington fishers who possess valid fishing and boat licenses. Non-resident commercial fishing and boat licenses are not required of Washington fishers participating in Youngs Bay commercial fisheries.

(a) The fallow deer and/or reindeer have had no contact with other cervids while outside Oregon; and

(b) The Department of Fish and Wildlife is notified each time before the fallow deer and/or reindeer re-enter Oregon.

(c) The Department of Fish and Wildlife is provided a schedule of off facility locations and dates before the fallow deer and/or reindeer are transported outside the facility.

(2) Cervid gametes or embryos may be imported into Oregon only under the following conditions:

(a) The person proposing to import provides the Department with documentation of the pedigree of the parents;

(b) The gametes or embryos are of the species or subspecies for which the recipient is licensed to hold; and

(3) Live cervids, gametes and embryos may be exported from Oregon, and cervid gametes and embryos may be imported into Oregon, only by a holder of an Oregon license valid for that species or subspecies, and provided that the licensee complies with all requirements of the Oregon Department of Agriculture governing transport, import and export in addition to provisions of OAR chapter 635 division 049.

(4) To the extent import or export of cervids, gametes or embryos is allowed by the above, any person proposing such import or export must obtain a permit from the Department of Fish and Wildlife in advance.
