The species of anadromous fish entering the Umpqua River are: chinook salmon (spring, summer, and fall runs), silver salmon, steelhead trout (summer and winter runs), cutthroat trout, shad, striped bass and sturgeon. The winter steelhead, striped bass, and shad runs appear to be maintaining themselves. The runs of the other...
"The fish management plan for the North Umpqua River system (below Soda Springs Dam) is designed to promote effective management of the fish resources in that river. It is prepared to inform interested citizens and agencies of management objectives and promote their input in choosing the appropriate courses of action....
In 1971 the Fish Commission of Oregon conducted a comprehensive study of the recreational use of marine food fish, shellfish, and other miscellaneous invertebrates in 16 Oregon estuaries. From March 1 through October 31, 1971, boat and shore anglers and tideflat users were interviewed for catch, effort, and origin data...
Evidence for reduced reproductive success (RS) of wild spawning hatchery-reared fish invites serious consideration with regard to the detrimental effects on subsequent generations of wild populations. Mate choice was evaluated as a potential mechanism contributing to these observed RS differences using a previous pedigree of wild spawning hatchery-reared and wild...
During the summer of 1972 we sampled the Umpqua River estuary to determine distribution of fish populations. As a part of that study temperature and salinity data were collected monthly throughout the estuary. The environmental data should help explain the distributions of various fishes within the estuary and be useful...
Trapping migrating steelhead trout smolts was done in the spring and early summer of 1993 as part of the 1990 Umpqua National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan. Calf Creek was monitored to "validate smolt output estimates" and to "determine if changes in habitat quality are occurring." (Introduction)
Trapping migrating steelhead trout smolts was done in the spring and early summers of 1991 and 1992 as part of the 1990 Umpqua National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan. Calf Creek was monitored to "validate smolt output estimates" and to "determine if changes in habitat quality are occurring." (Introduction)
Fish passing Winchester Dam view-window counting station on the North Umpqua River were enumerated. Figure 1 is a map of the Umpqua basin and denotes the counting station. The counts for summer steelhead, fall chinook, and sea-run cutthroat increased while those for winter steelhead, spring chinook, and coho decreased. By...
A study of the scales of Umpqua River spring chinook salmon was made from mid-September to December 1, 1951. The study was undertaken to determine the age composition and probable life history of spring Chinooks in this river. The study was made at the Oregon State College Fisheries Research Laboratory...
This report presents tables of suspended-sediment data collected from 1956 to 1967 at 10 sites in the Umpqua River basin. Computations based on these data indicate that average annual suspended-sediment yields at these sites range from 137 to 822 tons per square mile.
Because available data for the Umpqua River...
