The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is moving its headquarters! ODFW’s headquarters is moving in the Summer of 2013. The new address will be: 4034 Fairview Industrial Drive SE, Salem, Oregon 97302. This is near the Kuebler exit off Interstate 5 in south Salem. All telephone numbers for headquarters offices will remain the same. Check for updated information concerning the move on the web at: www.dfw.state.or.us. Attention Anglers ! Bull trout, one of Oregon’s native species, is listed as 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. Please help recover bull trout and restore the fishery by taking the time to learn the characteristics. Your help is essential! Brook trout and bull trout both have light spots on a dark 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. Text highlighted in blue is new or changed from 2012 Introduced Brook Trout Dark marks on dorsal fin Red on paired fins Native Bull Trout Worm-like markings on back No red on paired fins No dark marks on dorsal fin Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife 75 NORTHEAST Pages 70 - 75
