Oregon restricts fishing

Statesman - The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife plans to shut down afternoon fishing on most rivers and creeks in Oregon, and prohibit fishing entirely on the lower Willamette River, in an unprecedented step resulting from statewide drought. In a move aimed at avoiding stress to native fish suffering from high water temperatures and low stream flows, fishing for trout, salmon, steelhead and sturgeon will be closed from 2 p.m. to one hour before sunrise on all but a handful of streams.
