(2) Only drift gill nets may be used. It is unlawful to use a gill net having a mesh size less than 9 inches or more than 9.75 inches (as described in OAR 635-042-0010 (4)). Nets not specifically authorized for use in this fishery may be onboard the vessel if properly stored during the August 4-5 fishery only. This means it is unlawful for nets not specifically authorized for use in this fishery to be onboard after August 5, 2011. 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 that are fished at any time between official sunset and oficial sunrise must have lighted buoys on both ends of the net unless the net is attached to the boat. If the net is attached to the boat, then one lighted buoy on the opposite end of the net from the boat is required.

(3) A maximum of ten (10) white sturgeon, 43-54 inches in fork length, may be possessed or sold by each participating vessel during each calendar week (Sunday through Saturday) of the August 4-5 fishery. A maximum of three (3) white sturgeon, 43-54 inches in fork length, may be possessed or sold by each participating vessel during each calendar week (Sunday through Saturday) of the August 16-26 fishery. The sturgeon possession and sales limit includes mainstem fisheries only. Retention of green sturgeon is prohibited.

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); 7:00 p.m. Monday August 29 through 7:00 a.m. Friday September 2, 2011 (3.5 days) and 7:00 p.m. Monday September 5 through noon Sunday October 31 (57 days).

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

(A) From August 3 through October 31, 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.

Tongue Point Basin and South Channel

(1) Tongue Point fishing area includes all waters bounded by a line from a yellow marker midway between the red USCG navigation light #2 at the tip of Tongue Point and the downstream (northern most) pier (#8) at the Tongue Point Job Corps facility, to the flashing green USCG navigation light #3 at the rock jetty on the northwesterly tip of Mott Island, a line from a marker at the southeast end of Mott Island northeasterly to a marker on the northwest tip of Lois Island, and a line from a marker on the southwest end of Lois Island due westerly to a marker on the Oregon shore.

(2) South Channel area includes all waters bounded by a line from a marker on John Day Point through the green USCG buoy “7” thence to a marker on the southwest end of Lois Island upstream to an upper boundary line from a marker on Settler Point northwesterly to the flashing red USCG marker “10” thence northwesterly to a marker on Burnside Island defining the upstream terminus of South Channel.

(3) Salmon may be taken for commercial purposes in those waters of Tongue Point and South Channel as described above in sections (1) and (2) of this rule. Open fishing periods are:

(a) Fall Season. Open nightly Monday through Thursday nights from August 29 through October 28, 2011 (36 nights). Open hours are 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. (12 hours) during August 29 through September 16, and 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m. thereafter.

(4) Gear restrictions are as follows:

(a) In waters described in section (1) as Tongue Point basin, gill nets may not exceed 250 fathoms in length and weight limit on the lead line is not to exceed two pounds on any one fathom. It is unlawful to use a gill net having a mesh size that is more than 6-inches. While fishing during the seasons described in this rule, gillnets with lead line in excess of two pounds per fathom may be stored on boats.

(b) In waters described in section (2) as South Channel, nets are restricted to 100 fathoms in length with no weight restrictions on the lead line. The attachment of additional weight and anchors directly to the lead line is permitted. It is unlawful to use a gill net having a mesh size that is more than 6-inches. While fishing during the seasons described in this rule, gillnets up to 250 fathoms in length may be stored on boats.

(c) Nets not specifically authorized for use in the fisheries described in sections (1) and (2) above 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.

Fall Sport Fishery

(1) The 2011 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations provide requirements for the Columbia River Zone and the Snake River 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) Notwithstanding all other specifications and restrictions in the 2011 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations:

(a) Effective August 1 through December 31, the mainstem Columbia River from a north-south line through Buoy 10 upstream to a line projected from Rocky Point on the Washington bank through Red Buoy 44 to the navigation light at Tongue Point on the Oregon bank is open to angling for Chinook, adipose fin-clipped coho and adipose fin-clipped steelhead with a two fish combined daily bag; except:

(A) From August 1 through August 28, the combined daily bag limit may only include one Chinook salmon. Retention of Chinook salmon is prohibited during August 29 through September 15;

(B) From Friday, September 16 through Saturday, December 31 the combined daily bag limit may include up to two adult Chinook salmon.

(b) Effective August 1 through December 31, in the mainstem Columbia River from a line projected from Rocky Point on the Washington bank through Red Buoy 44 to the navigation light at Tongue Point on the Oregon bank upstream to Bonneville Dam, is open to angling for Chinook, adipose fin-clipped coho and adipose fin-clipped steelhead with a two fish combined daily bag; except:

(A) Retention of Chinook salmon is only allowed August 1 through September 9, September 16 through September 18, and October 1 through December 31 or until the harvest guideline is achieved, in the area bounded by a line projected from the Warrior Rock Lighthouse on the Oregon shore to Red Buoy #4 to the orange marker atop the piling near the lower end of Bachelor Island, Washington, downstream to a line projected from Rocky Point on the Washington bank through Red Buoy 44 to the navigation light at Tongue Point on the Oregon bank.

(B) In the area described in section (2)(b) above, the combined daily bag limit may only include one adult Chinook salmon during August 1 through September 9; and two adult salmon or steelhead in any combination during September 16 through September 18, 2011. Chinook retention re-opens October 1 through December 31, 2011 with a daily limit of 2 adult salmon or steelhead in any combination.

(c) Effective August 1 through December 31 in the mainstem Columbia River from Bonneville Dam upstream to the Highway 395 Bridge in Pasco, Washington, the combined daily bag limit for adult salmon and adipose fin-clipped steelhead is two fish per day. All coho retained downstream of the Hood River Bridge must be adipose fin-clipped. The daily bag limit may include up to two Chinook salmon.
