North of Cape Falcon Commercial Troll Salmon Action Notice
ODFW release - The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in consultation with the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC), the State of Washington, the State of Oregon, and advisory body members met today and have taken the following in-season management actions related to the spring and summer commercial troll salmon seasons from the US/Canada Border to Cape Falcon, Oregon: ACTIONS TAKEN: Spring Season: Effective Friday, June 19 at 12:01 AM through Tuesday, June 23 at 11:59 PM the commercial troll fishery in the area between the U.S./Canada border and Cape Falcon is open with a landing and possession limit of 20 Chinook per vessel for the open period. Effective Tuesday, June 23 at 11:59 PM the commercial troll fishery in the area between the U.S./Canada border and Cape Falcon is closed. Vessels must land and deliver their fish within 24 hours. Summer Season: Effective 12:01 AM Wednesday July 1, the landing and possession limit for the commercial troll fishery in the area between the U.S./Canada border and Cape Falcon is 50 Chinook and 50 marked coho per vessel for the period July 1-July 8. Effective 12:01 AM Thursday July 9, the landing and possession limit for the commercial troll fishery in the area between the U.S./Canada border and Cape Falcon is 50 Chinook and 50 marked coho per vessel per landing week (Thursday-Wednesday). RATIONALE: Spring season: The current estimates are that 35,867 of the 37,300 Chinook quota has been taken, leaving 1,433 Chinook remaining. The actions taken reopen the fishery and set the limit at 20 Chinook for the period June 19 through 23. The trip limit has been set as high as safely possible with the intent that it is the last opening of the spring season. Summer season: The preseason plan had a limit of 50 marked coho, but not a Chinook limit for the summer season starting on July 1. Based on the smaller quota for the summer season and catch rates in the spring, it is prudent to start the season with a Chinook limit in place. Fishery participants are reminded that vessels landing salmon into Oregon from any season North of Cape Falcon are required to notify ODFW at least one hour prior to landing by either calling 541-857-2546 or sending notification via email to [email protected]. Notification shall include vessel name and number, number of salmon by species, port of landing, location of delivery, and estimated time of delivery. Additional regulations that apply to vessels fishing out of Oregon, North of Cape Falcon that apply to the 2026 seasons include: • Within 24 hours of any closure of the fishery vessels must land and deliver their salmon. • Vessels landing in Oregon are limited to only fishing between Leadbetter Pt., WA and Cape Falcon, OR. • Vessels landing into Oregon must possess a valid commercial license and a valid troll salmon permit. • Vessels landing into Oregon are limited to locations on the Oregon side of the Columbia River upstream as far as Tongue Pt., the beaches at Gearhart/Seaside and Cannon Beach, or into Garibaldi. Visit https://www.dfw.state.or.us/MRP/salmon/ for more information on Oregon's ocean salmon seasons and fisheries.

Columbia River sockeye season opener delayed until June 27
ODFW release - CLACKAMAS, Ore. —Fishery managers are delaying the sockeye retention opener on the Columbia River until at least June 27 as the run is returning lower than forecasted. The season is now scheduled for June 27-July 5, but anglers should keep a close eye on action notices and the in-season regulations updates page as further changes may be necessary. This year's planned summer salmon and steelhead fisheries for the Columbia River included sockeye retention from June 23 through July 5. These fisheries were developed during the North of Falcon season-setting process, and the planned sockeye retention fishery was based on a preseason forecast of 274,900 sockeye returning to the Columbia River mouth. While still early in the return, passage through June 17 totals just over 8,900 fish which is roughly 30-40 percent of expected for this timeframe given the preseason forecast. To make sure fisheries stay within conservation limits at what appears to be a lower return than forecasted, while still allowing for incidental mortality from the on-going steelhead fishery and allowing sockeye retention over the July 4 weekend, fishery managers are rescinding the initial four days of the planned sockeye season. Delaying the sockeye retention start by four days will reduce the expected harvest by about 40 percent and help maintain management flexibility for future in-season adjustments. "Columbia River sockeye harvest is managed to provide protection for the endangered Snake River component of the run, so we always manage fisheries very carefully. Given the uncertainty in the run size at this point and recognizing the potential for challenging migration conditions this summer, we are taking a precautionary in-season approach to this year's sockeye fishery," said Jeff Whisler, ODFW's Columbia River Fisheries Manager. "Anglers planning to fish for sockeye should keep a close eye on our fishery action notices and the in-season regulation updates page. The season could change further as the run becomes clearer, and we balance fishing opportunity with conservation objectives."

ODFW responds to sudden loss of BPA funding for Columbia River SAFE program
ODFW release - SALEM, Ore. —ODFW was notified today that the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is terminating its share of funding for the Select Area Fisheries Enhancement (SAFE) Program in the Lower Columbia River effective September 30, 2026—providing barely three months' notice for a decision that carries major consequences for Oregon's commercial and recreational fisheries. Without action by BPA, withdrawal of these funds places more than 7 million hatchery salmon currently in production at immediate risk and leaves an estimated $2.4 million funding gap across the three partners responsible for SAFE operations: ODFW, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), and Clatsop County.

OHA urges Oregonians to prepare for summer health, safety risks
Agency offers tips on heat, wildfire smoke, water safety, other seasonal hazards - OHA release - PORTLAND, Ore. — With summer officially beginning June 21, Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is encouraging people across the state to take simple steps to protect themselves from seasonal hazards that can lead to illness, injury and preventable deaths. “Summer in Oregon offers countless opportunities to spend time outdoors with family and friends, but it’s important to recognize the health and safety risks that can come with warmer weather,” said Dean Sidelinger, M.D., M.S.Ed., health officer and state epidemiologist at OHA’s Public Health Division. “Whether you're swimming, hiking, camping, boating or attending outdoor events, a few preventive measures can help keep you safe and healthy all season long.” OHA recommends the following steps to reduce summer health risks: Water safety and drowning prevention: Learn to swim and teach children to swim. Swimming lessons reduce drowning risk. Fence home pools. Use a four-sided fence at least 4 feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates and remove toys from the pool when not in use. Wear a life jacket. Use U.S. Coast Guard–approved life jackets in natural water and for weaker swimmers in pools. Avoid alcohol. Never drink before or during swimming, boating, or supervising children. Know CPR. Learn basic life-saving skills; many organizations offer free courses. Be aware of natural water hazards. Currents, waves, rocks, and poor visibility can be deadly. Check weather conditions. Avoid swimming during or after thunderstorms. Use the buddy system. In open water, have someone watch you and each other. If someone is drowning. Reach or throw, don’t go in; you could become a victim. Extreme heat: Seek air-conditioned spaces, if available, when temperatures rise. Stay hydrated by drinking water regularly, especially when working or recreating outdoors. Use cool showers, misting and cold compresses to lower body temperature. Limit strenuous activity during the hottest parts of the day. Never leave children, older adults or pets in parked vehicles. Check in on older neighbors or family members who don’t have air conditioning. Learn the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke at heat.gov/heatsafety. Sun protection: Limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV rays are strongest. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 15 and reapply every two hours. Wear protective clothing, wide-brimmed hats and UV-protective sunglasses. Take breaks in shaded areas whenever possible. Wildfire smoke: Monitor local air quality conditions and limit outdoor activity when smoke levels are elevated. Create a cleaner air space at home using air filtration or a do-it-yourself box fan filter system. Install a MERV-13 or higher-rated filter in central air systems when possible. Keep windows and doors closed during smoky conditions. Follow medical advice if you have asthma, heart disease or other respiratory conditions. Visit OregonSmoke.org (OregonHumo.org in Spanish) to find the current air quality and health information. Review the Oregon Air Quality Activity Guide for Children and Youth for advice when planning all outdoor activities, including recess, child care outdoor play, sports events, camps, and field trips. Mosquitoes and ticks: Mosquitoes and ticks can spread diseases such as West Nile virus and Lyme disease. To reduce risk: Use EPA-registered insect repellents. Wear long sleeves, long pants and closed-toe shoes in areas where insects are common. Remove standing water around homes to reduce mosquito breeding sites. Check yourself, children, pets and gear for ticks after spending time outdoors. Cyanobacteria (harmful algae) blooms. Avoid contact with reservoir, lake or river water that appears: Bright green, blue-green, brownish-red or paint-like. Foamy, scummy or unusually thick. Containing floating mats of algae material. Avoid contact with mats of cyanobacteria that are attached to rocks, sand, or aquatic plants. Keep children and pets away from affected water and shorelines. Enjoy activities that have low risk of swallowing water or inhaling spray in and around bodies of water. Check for advisories for specific water bodies. Sign up for email and text alerts and learn more at: http://healthoregon.org/hab. Beach water advisories for harmful bacteria: Check for advisories before you head to the beach. If a beach is under advisory: Avoid swimming and swallowing ocean water. Avoid swimming in nearby creeks, pools of water on the beach, or in discolored water, and stay clear of water runoff flowing into the ocean. Levels of fecal bacteria can be higher in these water sources. Shower after playing at the beach. Wash your hands before eating or drinking. Enjoy activities such as picnicking, beach walking and kite flying. Even if no advisory is in effect, avoid swimming in the ocean within 48 hours after a rainstorm. Learn more and sign up for email and text updates about beach advisories at http://healthoregon.org/beach Food safety: Warm temperatures can increase the risk of foodborne illness. Remember the four key food safety steps: Clean: Wash hands, surfaces and produce thoroughly. Separate: Keep raw meat, poultry, seafood and eggs separate from ready-to-eat foods. Cook: Use a food thermometer to ensure foods reach safe internal temperatures. Chill: Refrigerate perishable foods within two hours.

Tillamook Co. DA
A tug-of-war of sorts of is underway on the North Coast in Tillamook County where the County Board of Commissioners recently stripped the District Attorney of her $20,000 a year stipend following an independent investigation requested by the Commissioners. District Attorney Aubrey Olson allegedly failed to properly prepare cases for trial or advocate for victims and allowed an “alarming” number of cases to be dismissed after Grand Juries reportedly declined to return indictments. Olson has not commented on the allegations, citing her pending lawsuit against the county.

Preventing Recreational Shooting from Starting Wildfires
OR Dept. of Forestry release - Tillamook State Forest, Ore.— With fire season now in effect across all Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) protected lands, including Oregon’s state forests, visitors are encouraged to take every precaution possible to prevent human-caused wildfires. Across Oregon, approximately 70 percent of wildfires are caused by human activity. While escaped debris burns are among the leading causes of human-caused wildfires statewide, recreational shooting presents a unique challenge in some state forest areas. In 2025, three separate wildfires were started by improper target shooting activity at the Wolf Creek Shooting Lanes in the Tillamook State Forest. Those incidents, combined with increasing fire danger, resulted in the temporary closure of the shooting lanes. “The vast majority of recreational target shooters are doing everything right,” said Ben Burns, ODF Recreation Facilities Manager. “Our volunteer partners, led by the nonprofit organization Trash No Land, do an outstanding job helping educate shooters and assisting with cleanup and maintenance at our shooting lanes. However, ongoing education is critical to ensure users understand and follow the rules that help keep everyone safe and prevent wildfires.” Target shooting regulations can be found on the ODF website here and on the Tillamook State Forest Blog here. Please review these before heading out into the forest. Here are some of those important rules: Exploding targets, such as Tannerite, are prohibited on State lands. Shooting of trees or targets attached to trees is prohibited. Shooting from, down or across any trail or road is prohibited. All targets must be manufactured or printed paper targets. Shooting of appliances, furniture or any other garbage material is prohibited. Target shooters must use an appropriately sized, non-flammable, natural backstop. Targets shooting may only take place between one half-hour after sunrise and one half-hour after sunset. Target shooters must remove shell casings, targets and other debris resulting from target shooting from State lands. Education remains ODF’s preferred approach to wildfire prevention. Recreation, education, and interpretation staff regularly work with visitors to promote safe and responsible recreation. However, law enforcement officers also patrol state forests and may issue citations when necessary. Although target shooting is allowed in many non-designated areas of state forests, ODF strongly encourages shooters to use designated shooting facilities whenever possible. These sites have been carefully selected and designed to provide safer shooting opportunities while reducing risks to other forest visitors and natural resources. In the Tillamook State Forest, ODF’s designated shooting facility is the North Fork Wolf Creek Shooting Lanes, located off Highway 26. In the Santiam State Forest, shooters can use the Butte Creek 615 Shooting Lane, accessed from Scotts Mills via Sawtell Road and the Butte Creek Mainline. “Before setting up targets, shooters should be aware of their surroundings and know what recreation opportunities exist in the area,” Burns said. “Forest roads, trails, dispersed recreation sites, and other users may be nearby. Failing to identify what is beyond your target creates a serious safety hazard.” ODF also encourages all forest visitors to carry a shovel and at least one gallon of water or a fire extinguisher in their vehicle during fire season. “That shovel and water are critical to put out a fire start before it becomes a big wildfire,” said Burns. “So make sure you are prepared and check the local fire restrictions before you leave for a state forest since many areas do not have cell phone coverage.” For more on fire levels, restrictions and closures see: Oregon Department of Forestry: Restrictions & closures: Fire: State of Oregon. For general forest recreation rules and public conduct regulations, including those on target shooting see: Oregon Secretary of State Administrative Rules.
