Possession Limits: in possession regardless of condition. This includes fish and shellfish which are fresh, and when lawful, frozen,
canned, smoked or otherwise processed.
Daily Limit: Maximum number of fish or shellfish which may be legally caught and reduced to possession in one day. An
angler may take daily limits of several types of fish per day.
Annual Limit: Applies to abalone, Pacific halibut, salmon, steelhead and sturgeon only. The annual catch limits are: abalone
5; sturgeon 5; Pacific halibut 6; and 20 for salmon and steelhead, in any combination, when recorded on the
Combined Angling Tag. Adipose or otherwise fin-clipped salmon or adipose fin-clipped steelhead legally recorded
on a Hatchery Harvest Tag do not count toward this annual limit.
Possession Limit: Maximum number or amount of a type of fish or shellfish that a person may lawfully possess in the field or forest,
or in transit to the place of permanent residence. The possession limit is: 2 daily limits for all species, including jack
salmon except 1 daily limit for abalone, 1 daily limit on the vessel or three daily limits on land for Pacific halibut,
and no possession limit for adult salmon, steelhead, or sturgeon. Anglers are restricted to 1 daily catch limit and 1
annual catch limit for all fish species from the Columbia River, even if licensed in Oregon and Washington.
Size Limit: It is unlawful to take or have in possession any fish or shellfish that are smaller than the minimum size or larger
than the maximum size limits. All undersized, oversized, prohibited species or unwanted fish or shellfish taken
must be immediately released unharmed and should not be removed from the water.
Definitions:
Adipose Fin- A hatchery salmon, steelhead or trout with a clipped adipose fin and having a healed scar at the location of the
Clipped Fish fin. The adipose fin is the small fatty fin on salmon, steelhead, and trout located between the dorsal fin and the
tail (see page 15).
Aggregate The total sum or number; as in 15 fish in aggregate. Generally used where several species make up a combined
daily catch limit.
Angling To take or attempt to take fish for personal use by hook and line.
Artificial Fly A fly is a hook, dressed with conventional fly tying materials. The affixed materials may be natural or synthetic.
Tied in conjunction with other materials, the following items may be part of the fly: wire (lead or other metal) used
for weighting the fly, dumbbell eyes or beads (metal, glass or plastic). A fly is not a hook to which sinkers, molded
weights, spinners, spoons or similar attractors are attached.
Bait Any item used to attract fish which is not an artificial fly or a lure. Molded soft plastic or rubber imitation worms,
eggs, or other imitation baits are considered bait. Scent is not considered bait.
BarblessHook A hook manufactured without barbs or a hook with the point barb removed or bent down to the shank.
Chumming Depositing in the water any substance, not attached to a hook, which may attract fish.
Fin Clip A healed scar where a fish fin has been clipped.
Fly Angling Angling with a fly rod, fly reel, (no spinning or fixed spool reel(s)), floating or sinking fly line, leader, any type of
backing line, and an artificial fly. In waters restricted to “Fly Angling Only” no additional weights or attractors shall
be attached to the hook, leader, or line, and no metal core lines may be used.
Game Fish Are defined as follows: Trout, salmon when taken by angling, steelhead, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, blue-
gill, crappie, other sunfish, catfish, walleye, yellow perch, hybrid bass (white x striped cross), whitefish, sturgeon
and shad when taken by angling, mullet, grayling and striped bass.
Groundfish Group Includes all species listed on or referred to on page 100 including lingcod, rockfish, greenling, cabezon, skates,
flatfish other than Pacific halibut.
Herring Jig A series of single point hooks that are no larger than 3/8 inch gap between point and shank. Herring jigs are typi-
cally used to catch species such as herring, sardine, and anchovy. A herring jig may have any number of hooks.
In the Field, Forest Anywhere other than a permanent residence.
or Transit
Lake The slack water portion of all lakes, ponds and reservoirs; excluding beaver ponds and tide-gate sloughs.
Length The length of any fish (except halibut and sturgeon) is the shortest distance measured in a straight line between
the tip of the tail and the tip of the snout while the fish is lying on its side, on a flat surface, with its tail in a normal
position (see sketch, page 19). The length of a Pacific halibut is measured in a straight line from the tip of the lower
jaw with the mouth closed to the extreme end of the middle of the tail (see sketch, page 19). The fork length of a
sturgeon is measured in a straight line from the tip of the nose to the fork in the caudal fin (tail), with the fish laying
on its side, on a flat surface (see sketch, page 19).

Residence utility account, etc.
Resident A person who has resided in Oregon for at least 6 consecutive months immediately prior to the date of making
application for a license, tag or permit. Resident license and tags may also be purchased by:
1. Members of the Armed Forces of the United States who:
• Are permanently assigned to active duty in this state, and their spouse and dependent children.
• Reside in this state while assigned to duty at any base, station, shore establishment or other facility in this
state.
• Reside in this state while serving as members of the crew of a ship that has an Oregon port or shore
establishment as its home port or permanent station.
• Armed Forces includes Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard, or their reserve components;
the National Guard or Oregon National Guard.
2. Aliens attending school in Oregon under a foreign student exchange program.
Rockfish All genera and species of the family Scorpaenidae which include Sebastes, Sebastolobus, and that occur in
Oregon. Refer to ODFW’s website or contact ODFW’s Marine Program at the Newport office for a listing of
Oregon’s Rockfish species, descriptions and photographs.
Salmon Includes 5 species: Chinook, coho, chum, sockeye and pink. Adult salmon are coho over 20 inches in length and
any other salmon species over 24 inches in length, except in the ocean where all legal size salmon are considered
to be adults. Jack salmon are coho between 15 and 20 inches in length and any other salmon species between
15 and 24 inches in length when in fresh-water or bays. Jack salmon are not a separate species of salmon, but
a life-history stage of various species of salmon that return to fresh-water and become sexually mature after only
a short period in the ocean. Thus, there are jack coho and jack Chinook salmon, for example. See exception to
salmon minimum length limits for Sections 2-4 of the Columbia River and the Umatilla River.
Shellfish Abalone, clams, crabs, crayfish, mussels, oysters, piddocks, scallops, shrimp and other marine invertebrates with
shells

trout over 16 inches in length are defined as steelhead.
Stream The free-flowing portion of all rivers and creeks, including beaver ponds and tide-gated sloughs.
Strike Indicator A hookless, unscented floating device attached to the line or leader for the purpose of signaling a strike at the
fly. The point of attachment must be at least 18 inches from the fly. Strike indicators are not considered an “at-
tachment” or an “attractor” and are therefore permitted in fly angling and artificial fly waters, except the North
Umpqua.
Sunfish Largemouth and smallmouth bass; bluegill; crappie; green sunfish; redear sunfish; Sacramento perch; pumpkin-
seed; warmouth and all hybrids of these species.
Take To kill, reduce to possession or control.
Tidewaters Stream or estuary waters affected by daily ebb and flow of tides.
Tributary A stream flowing into a larger stream or a lake.
Trout All rainbow (except steelhead); cutthroat; brook; brown; bull; golden and lake trout; Atlantic salmon and kokanee.
Coho salmon are always considered salmon regardless of size and Chinook salmon are considered trout in some
areas (see Special and Zone regulations).

be done during their hatchery rearing to better
manage those differences?
n Does hatchery diet influence the survival or
migration of juvenile salmon in the natural
environment?

You can help protect Oregon’s waters from invasive plants

and animals! Here's how:
CLEAN and INSPECT - Thoroughly rinse and inspect all gear and boating equipment before you leave
the area. Clean gear of all material coming from the water and inspect hard to clean areas like laces,
insoles, livewells, nets, etc.
DRY - Completely dry all gear and boating equipment for at least 48 hours before using in a different
area. Multiple sets of gear are recommended for frequent travelers visiting many areas.
FREEZE, SOAK or SPRAY - Effective cleaning methods include freezing gear overnight, washing gear
in hot water (140F; warning, may damage Gortex), or a 5 min soak in Formula 409 Disinfectant (50%
dilution recommended). Dispose of all rinse water appropraitely.
REMEMBER - Mud, sand, plant fragments and gravel on your gear are all signs that mudsnails and
other species may be attached to your equipment (boots, nets, boats, trailers, etc.).
REPORT – Found mudsnails or other invasive species? Call 1-866-INVADER
for more information or to report sightings. Visit www.clr.pdx.edu for the
latest information on aquatic invaders in Oregon.

Attention Anglers ! Introduced Brook Trout

Dark marks on Worm-like markings on
Bull trout, one of Oregon’s native species, is listed as dorsal fin back
Threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Harvest
of bull trout is severely restricted in Oregon as part of
conservation efforts to recover this species and rebuild
the fishery. Please refer to regulations for the Willamette,
Central, Northeast, and Southeast Zone regarding Bull
trout.
Research has shown that most anglers, experienced as well
as inexperienced, have difficulty distinguishing between
bull trout and brook trout, an introduced species in Oregon.
This Fish Identification is provided to help you distinguished
between native bull trout and introduced brook trout. Red on paired fins
Please help recover bull trout and restore the fishery by
taking the time to learn the characteristics. Your help is Native Bull Trout
essential! No dark marks on
Brook trout and bull trout both have light spots on a dark dorsal fin
grey or olive-green background. In general, bull trout have
a clear dorsal fin, although in some fish light marks may
be seen on the dorsal fin. Bull trout lack the worm-like
markings on their backs and the red on their paired fins that
characterize brook trout.
Brook trout may be identified by light colored worm-like
marking on their back, dark wavy lines on the dorsal fin,
and red on the paired fins.
No red on paired fins

SNAKE RIVER ZONE
Description:
The Snake River Zone is all the waters of the Snake River from the Oregon-Washington border upstream to the Oregon-Idaho border.
The boundary between the Snake River and its tributaries is defined as a straight line across the mouths of all rivers. The Snake River
Zone includes the portions of the Burnt and Powder rivers downstream of the Huntington-Richland Road near their mouths and includes
the portion of Pine Creek downstream of the Oxbow Bridge.
Instructions:
1. Where the Snake River forms the boundary between Oregon and Idaho, the following rules apply:
a. License of either state is valid in the Snake River when angling from a floating device. However, when fishing tributaries, sloughs or
from sloughs or from lands within either state, the angler must be licensed by the state where the waters (or land) are located.
b. Anglers must follow the rules of the licensing state.
c. Anglers are restricted to one daily catch limit, even if licensed by both states.
d. Anglers may launch and take out their boats from either state, regardless of licensing state.
2. See health advisories on page 18.

Oregon disabilities hunting and fishing permit information
In order to be considered a person with a disability under the wildlife laws, a person shall provide either:
1. Written certification from a licensed physician, which states that the applicant:
a. Is permanently unable to walk without the use of, or assistance from, a brace, cane, crutch, prosthetic device,
wheelchair, scooter or walker;
b. Is restricted by lung disease to the extent that the person’s forced expiratory volume for one second, when
measured by a spirometer, is less than 35 percent predicted, or arterial oxygen tension is less than 55 mm/Hg
on room air at rest;
c. Has a cardiac condition to the extent that the person’s functional limitations are classified in severity as Class
III or Class V, according to standards established by the American Heart Association;
d. Has a permanent, physical impairment that prevents the person from holding or shooting a firearm or bow or
from holding a fishing rod in hand; or
e. Has central visual acuity that permanently does not exceed 20/200 in the better eye with corrective lenses, or
the widest diameter of the visual field is no greater than 20 degrees; or
2. Written proof that the last official certification of record by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs or
any branch of the Armed Forces of the United States shows the person to be at least 65 percent disabled (ORS
496.018).
The “Oregon Disabilities Hunting and Fishing Permit” is not a license or tag. Anglers must still obtain an angling license
and/or Combined Angling Tag (if angling for salmon, steelhead, sturgeon or pacific halibut). Hunters also must still
obtain a hunting license and apply for and/or purchase appropriate tags prior to specified tag sale deadlines to hunt in
controlled and general big game seasons. You must be in possession of your “Oregon Disabilities Hunting and Fishing
Permit,” license, and tag while you are angling or hunting (even holders of a Disabled Veteran/Pioneer license and
tag). All license and tag fees are at regular rates.
A licensed angler who possesses a valid “Oregon Disabilities Hunting and Fishing Permit” is allowed to angle from
an anchored craft in waters where angling from a floating device is prohibited by ODFW. This allowance does not
supersede safety or security regulations enacted by other agencies.
Licensed angers who possess a valid “Oregon Disabilities Hunting and Fishing Permit” may also fish during authorized
open fishing seasons from the Nehalem Hatchery Barrier Free Fishing Platform on the North Fork Nehalem River.
For additional information on the rules and regulations pertaining to hunting and “Oregon Disabilities Hunting and
Fishing Permit” consult the 2007 Oregon Big Game Regulations.

COLUMBIA RIVER ZONE
Description:
The Columbia River Zone is all waters of the Columbia River upstream from a north-south line through Buoy 10 at the river mouth
and includes those portions of tributaries (including lakes) downstream from the mainline railroad bridges near the tributaries’ mouths
except for the Willamette (including Multnomah Channel), Sandy, Hood, Deschutes and Umatilla river systems. The Columbia River
Zone includes downstream from Hwy 730 on the Umatilla River and from Interstate 84 on the Deschutes River. The boundary is a
straight line across the mouths of the Willamette (including Multnomah Channel), Sandy and Hood rivers.
Oregon and Washington state waters are defined by the state line which lies within the waters of the Columbia River. In the area from
the mouth upstream to Altoona, WA (Rivermile 24), the state line is near the Washington shore. In the area from Altoona, WA upstream
to above McNary Dam (except near mainstem dams) the state line is in the middle of the ship channel.
Instructions:
for these rules, or call 800‑720‑6339, 24 hours a day.
1. In the Columbia River where it forms the state boundary line, not including tributaries, sloughs and lands, the following rules apply:
a. License and tags of either state are valid except when the other state’s season is closed;
b. Anglers must follow the rules of the state in which they are fishing;
c. Anglers are restricted to one daily catch limit for all fish species from the Columbia River, even if licensed in Oregon and
Washington;
d. Anglers are restricted to one annual catch limit of sturgeon from the Columbia River, even if licensed in Oregon and
Washington;
e. Anglers with a valid resident or non-resident license issued by either Oregon or Washington may launch or take out their boats
from either shore.
2. When fishing on tributaries, sloughs or from the land of a state, the angler must be licensed by that state and obey all angling
regulations of that state.
3. For the mainstem Columbia River salmon and steelhead fishery upstream of the Rocky Point-Tongue Point line to McNary Dam
from February 15 through June 15, 2010, it is unlawful when fishing from vessels which are less than 30 feet in lenth, substantiated
by U.S. Coast Guard documentation or Marine Board registration, to totally remove from the water any salmon or steelhead required
to be released.
Note: Mainstem Columbia River fisheries for salmon, steelhead and sturgeon are co-managed by the Oregon and Washington De-
partments of Fish and Wildlife and the four Treaty Tribes, represented by the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission. Based on
discussions among the co-management agencies, Oregon may adopt in-season changes to sport fishery regulations in the Columbia
River. Regulation changes can occur on short notice and will be made available to ODFW field offices, the news media and license
agents. Anglers can check the status of regulations prior to fishing the Columbia River by checking the ODFW web site: www.dfw.

State and Federal Law Requires

Social Security Number Collection
Federal and state laws require ODFW to collect the Social Security number (SSN) of applicants for hunting and fishing
licenses. These laws were enacted as part of a nation-wide effort to improve child support compliance.
Pages 88 - 95
COLUMBIA
Social Security numbers will not be displayed on licenses or disclosed except as required by state or federal law.
Instead, a Hunter/Angler ID number is printed on all licenses, tags, permits, etc. This is your permanent identification
number. It is the primary number for identifying you in our system and maintaining your license history.
Bring any 2008 license or tag to any Point-Of-Sale (POS) license agent when applyng for 2009 licenses and tags.
You will be quickly identified within the system and avoid delays.

MARINE ZONE
Description:
The Marine Zone consists of the Pacific Ocean, coastal bays, and beaches.
Instructions:
for these rules, or call 503-947-6001 24 hours a day. Marine regulations will also be included in the 2010 Oregon Sport Ocean
Regulations for Salmon, Halibut, and Other Marine Species which will be available in May 2010.
1. The ocean is separated from rivers and bays by:
a. Normal high tide lines along coastal beaches, where there are no jetties;
b. The ends of the jetties, where they exist, except for the Columbia River;
c. A north-south line running through Buoy 10 in the Columbia River.
2. License requirements for those 14 years or older for this zone are:
a. An Oregon angling license is required to angle for or land any fish species except smelt;
b. A license is required to harvest shellfish. Permits are required as listed under abalone, clams, mud and ghost shrimp, and inter-
tidal invertebrates in the following table. Contact ODFW in Newport 541-867-4741, Charleston 541-888-5515, or Astoria 503-
325-2462 for information.
3. Persons coming ashore in Oregon with ocean caught fish or shellfish are subject to all Oregon sport fishing and licensing regulations.
4. All areas are open except those areas listed under Season, Special Regulations or closed by a Public Health Advisory.
5. Oregon Dept. of Agriculture Public Health Advisory for shellfish:
a. Any estuary or beach with a health advisory will be closed immediately until the advisory is removed;
b. For current information concerning shellfish health advisories, call 503-986-4728 or 1-800-448-2474.
6. Barbed hooks are allowed when angling for marine fish except as noted for salmon and steelhead.
7. In the waters of the Pacific Ocean and in the Columbia River 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, each angler aboard a vessel may continue to use
angling gear until the daily limit of fish for all legally licensed and juvenile anglers aboard has been achieved. However, no individual
angler may exceed any personal daily bag limit or land fish that contribute to another angler’s limit (anglers who have retained a
species limit must pass their rod to an angler who has not reached a limit prior to the fish being landed (netted or boated), or they
must release the fish).
8. It is unlawful for any person to fish for, or take and retain any species of salmon, Pacific halibut or Marine Fish while possessing on
board any species not allowed to be taken in the area at the time.
9. These angling regulations apply within the state’s Fisheries Conservation Zone, which extends 50 miles from shore. In addition,
some fisheries are co-managed with the federal government, so the regulations may apply out to 200 miles from shore.
10. It is unlawful: for anglers fishing from a boat to mutilate fish so the size or species cannot be determined prior to landing; to transport
mutilated fish across state waters; and for anglers fishing from shore to mutilate fish so that size or species cannot be determined
prior to reaching their automobile or principle means of land transportation, and having completed their daily angling. This does not
apply to herring, anchovy, smelt and sardine.
Harvest Caps and In‑Season Changes:
Annual state and federal harvest caps are set for sport fisheries including black rockfish, yelloweye rockfish, canary rockfish, cabezon,
greenlings and others. When a species’ harvest cap is reached or is being approached, an in-season regulation change may be
implemented to stop or slow the harvest of that species. In-season changes may include (but are not limited to) reduced bag limits, a
change in size limits, non-retention of a particular species, area closures and season closures.
