Answers

Oregon rivers list: reader questions

How many Oregon rivers have their own page?

108; 71 carry a live USGS gauge.

How many list salmon or steelhead?

98 rivers have salmon or steelhead mapped in the ODFW Fish Habitat Distribution layers.

Which rivers carry booklet exceptions?

78 of them; each page prints the rule as written with its booklet page number.

Do the flow figures update?

Yes, every USGS gauge on a river page pulls its latest reading through the day.

Are tidewater and bays covered on river pages?

12 river pages also carry their estuary: launches, docks and tide stations at the mouth.

Why does a fork or creek have no page?

A stream needs a launch, a gauge, a booklet exception or stocking weeks before it gets one.

Are river lengths printed?

No; the layers used do not give a length, so none is shown.

Where are the river species from?

ODFW Fish Habitat Distribution layers, regulation exceptions that name a fish, and ODFW records.
