T
he emerging Southern Oregon Wine Institute’s Danny
Lang Teaching, Learning and Event Center at Umpqua
Community College is more than a very long name for
an ongoing construction project.
It’s also evidence of how attention in and outside Douglas
County continues to center on what the wine industry may be
able to do for a faltering economy.
There’s other evidence as well, according to Jennifer Henry,
secretary of the Umpqua Valley Winegrowers Association.
“We have increased our membership and we have obtained
some very strong partners that believe in the region,” Henry said,
naming UCC’s Southern Oregon Wine Institute as well as ETS
Laboratories in St. Helena, Calif. The latter company describes News-Review file photo
itself on its website as one of the most advanced wine analysis
laboratories in the world. Wine is sampled at the Abacela Winery in Winston.
As of early April, the winegrowers association had 39 regular

members, defined as vineyard and winery owners with or without


tasting rooms. In addition, there were 27 partner members — var-
ious businesses, individuals and students supporting the wine
industry.
“With (the partners) and the college opening a wine lab and
since businesses are moving to the area that cater to wineries, that
tells me there is a major belief that this is truly an exceptional

Lake. The increase is a result of an estimated 400,000
trout in the lake. That’s above the management
News-Review
file photo level set by the Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife.
“I think it’s a wonderful thing for families that
come here to fish, and it’s good for the lake,” said
Steve Koch, president and general manager of
Diamond Lake Resort. “ It’s a better reward for
what is paid for the license. It’s an opportunity to
harvest quite a bit more fish. With the price of fuel, the ability to
catch more fish will help offset some of the travel costs.
“I know they’re (ODFW) trying to balance the food source
with the fishery, and this should keep the health of the lake
steady,” he added.
The High Cascades fishing season opened April 23, but a cov-
ering of snow and ice limited access to open water at Diamond
Lake well into May.
Rick Rockholt, the marketing director at the Diamond Lake
Resort, said the largest rainbow trout caught and recorded last
year was 7.25 pounds with a length of 26.5 inches. He said the
average fish was 16 to 17 inches long.
“I still believe there are 10-pounders out there,” he said.
Rockholt said visitors enjoyed fantastic fishing in 2010, right
through the fishery’s closure on Oct. 31. He said “five-fish limits
were the rule for most of last season, with nice fish up to four to
five pounds,” and he is expecting the good fishing to continue
through 2011.
Most people fishing at the lake use Power Bait, with chartreuse
and fluorescent orange colors being most popular. Other options
are night crawlers or trolling with Ford Fenders with either a
small lure or worm.
Rockholt said fly fishing should also prove to be productive as
fingerlings that were stocked at 3 to 4 inches last year should now
be 13 to 15 inches and should know how to forage for food.
Diamond Lake has recovered as a trout fishery since undergo-
ing the largest fisheries restoration project ever undertaken by the
Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. The agency in 2006
joined the U.S. Forest Service and other state and federal agen-
cies to mix more than 100,000 pounds of rotenone into the lake
and choke out the non-native tui chub, a minnow-like fish of the

NORTH UMPQUA RIVER

Umpqua
River
offers world-renowned
fly fishing and more
The News-Review
The North Umpqua River is a bubbling emerald-green torrent
that flows west from the Mount Thielsen Wilderness over boul-
ders, through deep pools and meets its confluence with the South
Umpqua River just northwest of Roseburg.
“It’s drop-dead gorgeous,” said Sharon Blodgett, owner of
North Umpqua Outfitters. “It’s a wild and scenic corridor.”
There are several dozen miles of world-renowned fly fishing
for steelhead within the North Umpqua river system. Fishermen
and kayakers also flock to the river throughout the year, while
locals find peace and quiet in its deep pools and excitement on
tubing trips over rapids during the summer.
Follow their lead at Amacher Park underneath the Winchester
Bridge, where droves of tubers and rafters launch their crafts for
a full day of floating to River Forks Park. But always wear a life
jacket, because a few rapids can be a bit of a surprise.
“There are more rapids per mile than any other river in Ore-
gon,” Blodgett said.
High up the South Umpqua River, nature has created one of its
cooler swimming holes at South Umpqua Falls in the Tiller Dis-
trict of the Umpqua National Forest.
In the Steamboat area of the North Umpqua, a 31-mile stretch
of the river is open to fly-fishing only. This area is considered a
fly fishermen mecca for the summer steelhead entering the
Steamboat Creek Drainage.
River users can call the North Umpqua Ranger Station at 541-

well as river levels. News-Review file photo

JOHN SOWELL
The News-Review
ouglas County boasts one of the highest

D concentrations of waterfalls in Oregon.


More than 60 waterfalls are publicly acces-
sible within the Umpqua and Rogue basins.
From Watson Falls near Toketee, which drops
272 feet and is listed as the state’s fourth-highest
waterfalls, to South Umpqua Falls above Tiller, a
historic fish-gathering and spiritual place for
Umpqua Indians, there are many spectacular water-
falls found within a short drive and hike.
The waterfalls can look remarkably different,
depending upon the time of year and the flow of
water passing over the edge of the rocks. All of the
waterfalls listed here have year-round flows. News-Review file photo

ALONG HIGHWAY 138 EAST
Susan Creek Falls
A nearly one-mile trail, which is wheelchair-accessible, leads hikers
through a forest setting to the 50-foot drop of Susan Creek Falls. A
moss-lined rock wall borders the falls on three sides. To reach the falls
from Roseburg, take Highway 138 East to the Susan Creek Picnic
Area, about 29 miles. The parking area is across from the Susan
Creek picnic area.
Fall Creek Falls
This one-mile trail winds around and through slabs of bedrock and
past the natural, lush vegetation to a double falls with each tier 35 to
50 feet in height. It’s a good walk for families with children and grand-
parents. The Job’s Garden Trail, which takes off at the half-mile point,
leads through a Douglas fir forest to the base of basaltic, columnar
rock outcroppings. Both trails are located off Highway 138 at Fall
Creek, about 32 miles east of Roseburg in the Umpqua National For-
est.
Little Falls
Fish jump up this 5- to 15-foot break along Steamboat Creek. The
falls can be found by driving one mile up Steamboat Creek Road 38,
which leaves Highway 138 at Steamboat, 39 miles east of Roseburg.
Steamboat Falls
A viewpoint showcases this 25-foot waterfall. Some fish attempt to
jump the falls, while others use an adjacent ladder. Drivers take High-
way 138 east to Steamboat, about 39 miles, and turn on Steamboat
Creek Road 38 and continue for six miles, then turn onto Road 3810
and travel to the Steamboat Falls Campground entrance.
Toketee Falls
Toketee Falls, located 59 miles east of Roseburg, is one of Ore-
gon’s most celebrated waterfalls. It reopened last spring after being
closed for two years after a storm caused a dozen trees to fall across
the trail leading to the falls and a viewing platform. A 300-foot hard-
wood stairway leads visitors to the platform overlooking the falls,
which plunges 100 feet over a sheer wall of basalt with a double-tier
waterfall on top. Take Highway 138 east from Roseburg to Toketee,
about 59 miles. Turn off Highway 138 on Road 34, the west entrance
to the Toketee Ranger Station. Cross the first bridge and turn left. The
trail is a half-mile long.

Clearwater Falls
This 40-foot cascade is only a short walk up Clearwater River. To
get to the falls, drive three and one-half miles east from Whitehorse
Falls to the turnoff for Clearwater Falls — about 70 miles east of
Roseburg. The falls are wheelchair-accessible to the bottom.
Douglas County’s Greatest

The Indian word Lemolo, a Chinook term, means “wild” or
“untamed.” The meaning comes to life as the waterfall thunders 75 to

Douglas County.
The area’s hills, rivers and deep woods offer excel-
lent opportunities for sportsmen during respective
hunting seasons.

around the county People interested in the hunting available in Douglas


County are encouraged to obtain Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife big game and game bird regulations to
check dates, boundaries and regulations.
These are available at the ODFW office at 4192 North
Umpqua Highway, Roseburg, or at counters in stores where
sporting goods are sold.
GAME
Douglas County is one of the best counties in Oregon for
hunting blacktailed bucks. The deer are found almost every-
where in the county. Numbers are higher on agricultural land
and on 5- to 20-year-old harvested units in the forests.
Roosevelt elk live throughout the county. They feed in new
clearcut areas and use more mature timber for cover and
shelter. The first day or two of elk hunting seasons is tradition-
ally most successful. After this time, the animals usually move
to the thickest cover they can find.
The best population of black bears in Douglas County is in
the Coast Range around berry patches and old orchards. The
next best place to find bears is in the lower Cascades.
Douglas County has some of the highest densities of
cougars recorded in the United States. These big cats are pri-
marily found in good elk and deer habitat since these animals
are their favorite foods. The entire state is open to cougar
hunting, but specific areas will be closed if mortality quotas for
the year are met in that zone.
Douglas County also is home to many other species includ-
ing coyotes, bobcats, raccoons, silver gray squirrels, beaver,
otter and muskrats. Very few of these animals are hunted by
the general public but they are pursued by trappers. Silver gray
squirrels are not legal to trap, but are legal to hunt.
Trapping regulations are available at the regional ODFW
office in Roseburg or are available on the Internet at

Cow Creek
Tribal Traditions
The Cow Creek Tribe Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians works to
improve and protect natural resources. The dedication the Tribe and
its partners have made to restore the Jordan Creek Watershed in South
Douglas County, an area that surrounds and is inclusive of thriving
Tribal businesses such as Seven Feathers Truck & Travel and Seven
Feathers RV Resort, is an example of this tradition.
Restoration activities on Jordan Creek began in 1998. Old car bodies,
used tires, sewage, waste oil, trash, defunct culverts, and much more
were removed from the neglected Creek bed. In 2006, the Tribe
completed a watershed assessment of the entire drainage. The goal of
the assessment was to find habitat restoration opportunities that would
help fish return to Jordan Creek. The Tribe also began monitoring the
Creek for water quality at this time.
Jordan Creek historically had fish populations of Coho salmon and
winter steelhead until the construction of I-5 in 1958 cut off most
of the drainage to migrating fish. The Tribe worked with the Oregon
Department of Transportation in 2006 to install weirs that allow fish
to pass underneath I-5 during higher flows. Also that year, with help
from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Partnership
for the Umpqua Rivers, boulders and log structures were placed in the
Creek to create pools and shade that improve fish habitat.
Fish returned to Jordan Creek in January of 2007 and, in the years
since, many adult spawning pairs of Coho salmon have been spotted
in Jordan Creek. In 2008, with funding from the State of Oregon, the
Tribe worked with their partners and removed most of the remaining
fish barriers in the Jordan and Alder Creek drainage. Simultaneously,
since 2007, the Tribe has restored vegetation native to Jordan Creek.
This year, more noxious weeds will be removed, native plants will
be planted, and more boulder and log structures will be installed.
Stewardship of Jordan Creek is vigilant and constant.
The presence of spawning salmon and their offspring in Jordan Creek
is strong testimony to the Cow Creek tradition that balances economic
and community vitality with the protection of natural resources.
