Only a few days left to report big game and turkey tags Don't forget to report your hunt results no later than Jan. 31, 2015 for most hunts. Report online or by phone (1-866-947-6339). Hunters need to complete a report for each deer, elk, cougar, bear, turkey and pronghorn tag purchased (or picked up as part of a Sports Pac) — even if they didn't hunt or weren't successful. Deer and elk hunters who don't report will have to pay a $25 fine to get a 2016 hunting license.

Winter steelhead season continues For the best fishing, keep an eye on the weather and water levels (and the weekly Recreation Report) and be ready to hit the river when water levels start to fall.

Spring bear hunting applications due Feb. 10 Visit us at the Pacific NW Sportsman Show Feb. 4-8, Portland Oregon ODFW will host several seminars about controlled hunts during the show.

FISHING Weekend fishing opportunities: • St e elhead fishing on the upper Umatilla River continues to be good and angler effort is picking up in the Pendleton area.

Anglers are still making successful steelhead trips to the lower lmnaha. Flows have maintained and are still providing some great conditions for catching steelhead.

GRANDE RONDE RIVER: steelhead The Grande Ronde River flows jumped last week but anglers were still finding a few fish. If flows continue to drop, this great year of fishing should continue.

Look for angling to continue to be good into March when flows and water conditions make fishing difficult. With cooling water temps look for fish to move to calmer water where they can conserve energy while holding. A healthy proportion of two salt fish has resulted in a large average size this year. So, expect a few larger fish and some screaming drags! Remember, only adipose-fin clipped rainbow trout may be retained and all bull trout must be released unharmed.

IMNAHA RIVER: steelhead Anglers are still making successful steelhead trips to the lower lmnaha. Flows have maintained and are still providing some great conditions for catching steelhead.

Angling will pick up in late February and March. Both fly and gear fisherman have fared well all winter.

WALLOWA LAKE: rainbow trout, kokanee, lake trout Some rainbow trout are still available and tagged fish are occasionally being reported. Trout have been caught with a variety of methods but a simple rig with PowerBait has been most effective. If the cold weather continues and the lake freezes, ice fishing can be good for both kokanee and trout. The lake was stocked with tagged rainbow trout in an effort by ODFW to better understand the utilization of this fishery. Tagged fish have been caught at very high rates and over $2,700 in rewards have been paid.

WALLOWA RIVER: steelhead, mountain whitefish Reports of successful steelhead trips have been surprisingly consistent for steelhead. The best time to catch steelhead on the Wallowa is normally late winter or early spring, but there are enough fish being caught currently to keep anglers interested. Keep an eye on the weekly recreation report for more information on river conditions.

Remember the Wallowa River is a whitefish factory. Whitefish can be a great way to keep kids interested while steelhead fishing and can be great table fair. Simply tie in a small bead-head nymph dropper while fishing under a bobber rig and let the fun begin. Also, steelhead will often take a bead head nymph hanging under a jig.

NORTHEAST ZONE HUNTING OPEN: COUGAR, UPLAND BIRD (remaining seasons close Jan. 31) BAKER COUNTY Chukar, Hun, and California Quail season end Jan. 31, 2015.

Cougars can be found throughout Baker County but hunters should target areas with high concentrations of deer and elk. Setting up on a fresh kill or using distress calls can all be productive techniques. Hunters are required to check in the hide of any cougar taken, with skull and proof of sex attached. Remember to pick up a 2015 tag.

Coyote numbers are good throughout the district. Try calling in early morning and late afternoon. Remember to ask for permission before hunting on private properties.

UNION COUNTY Cougars are common in Union County. Focus on game rich areas with long ridgelines or saddles that cats typically travel. Setting up downwind of a deer or elk killed by a cougar can be productive.

Nonresident hunters can include a cougar tag with others tags for only $14.50. All cougars taken must be checked in within 10 days of harvest; call for an appointment before check in. Remember to pick up a tag for 2015.

Coyote numbers are good throughout the district. Try calling in early morning and late afternoon. Remember to ask for permission before hunting on private properties.

Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area is open Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday and federal holidays Waterfowl seasons are closed. Quail season is open through January 31. Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area is open Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday and federal holidays during pheasant, quail, partridge and waterfowl seasons. Visitors are advised to carefully read posted signs and consult game bird regulations before entering the wildlife area.

WALLOWA COUNTY Elk - Numbers of elk are strong throughout most of Wallowa County with good bull to cow ratios in all units. Most animals are now on winter ranges at lower elevations. Our last antlerless elk season for the year closed on Friday January 16'" and success was moderate to high. While some elk have begun to move back out onto the Zumwalt Prairie, most are on the canyon slopes along the eastern edge of the Prairie where they are less accessible.

Chukar hunting is closing Jan. 31.

Coyote: Good numbers of coyotes can be found throughout Wallowa County. Calling coyotes with rabbit distress type calls has been effective for hunters. It is important to choose areas with abundant coyote sign and little human activity.

Cougar numbers are strong throughout Wallowa County. Most lions are taken incidental to other hunting; however, calling with fawn bleat, or locating a cougar kill and waiting for a cat to return are often successful techniques.

Northeast Zone WILDLIFE VIEWING BAKER COUNTY Bighorn sheep can be seen in the Burnt River Canyon west of Durkee or along the Snake River Road south of Richland. The best viewing is in the early morning and late in the evening. Bald and golden eagles can be seen along the Snake River. Take the Snake River Road between Richland and Huntington. Deer and elk are returning to the valley to winter. Early in the morning and late in the afternoon are good times to view wildlife. Driving through the foothills of the Baker valley and through the Keating valley can turn up good numbers of deer.

Elkhorn WildlifeArea Elkhorn Wildlife Area is known for the Rocky Mountain elk and mule deer herds that frequent the area during the winter. When snow covers the ground, ODFW staff feed elk and deer to encourage them to stay in the higher elevations and out of agricultural fields. There are two good viewing sites. The Anthony Creek site is located about eight miles west of 1-84 on North Powder River Lane. From 1-84 take the North Powder Exit (Exit 285). About 150 elk can be seen here on any given day. From the overlook on Auburn Road, watch hundreds of elk and mule deer. It is on the south side of Old Auburn Road, which branches off Highway 7 about six miles south of Baker City.

UNION COUNTY Ladd Narsh WildlifeArea The Tule Lake autoroute is closed to vehicles. The Tule Lake unit and most of the wildlife will close to all public entry Sunday, February 1 with the closing of the quail hunting season. Tule Lake will re-open March 1. The Glass Hill Unit will also be closed to all public entry beginning February1. Glass Hill will be closed through March 30 to benefit wintering wildlife.

Visitors are advised to carefully read posted signs and consult the wildlife area administrative rules. Rules that apply to all areas are at the top (at the above link), and then scroll down to page 8, ¹635-008-120, for additional rules specific to Ladd Marsh. Dogs are not permitted within the Wildlife Area, on or off leash except during authorized hunting seasons. There are numerous quality viewing opportunities from county roads that pass through the area. Binoculars or a spotting scope will help as many animals are best viewed from a distance. Water levels in ponds and wetlands are good. Waterfowl present in the area include Canada goose, greater white-fronted goose, common merganser and many duck species. About a dozen tundra swans were seen recently west of Hwy 203. More swans should arrive soon. Large numbers of white-crowned sparrows have been found in shrubby areas along with song sparrows. Northern shrikes continue in several locations across the area. Feeders at HQ are hosting goldfinch, house finch, Cassin's finch, black-capped chickadee, dark-eyed junco, song sparrow, flicker, collared-dove, house sparrow and California quail. A flock of evening grosbeaks have been at the feeders intermittently. Raptors include Red-tailed Hawk, Northern Harrier, Rough-legged Hawk, Great horned and Barn Owls, Cooper's and Sharp-shinned Hawks and American Kestrel. A few warm, windless afternoons have given the place a spring feeling including Canada geese apparently checking out and claiming nest sites. For more information on access rules for Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area, please consult the Oregon Game Bird Regulations or call the wildlife area (541) 963-4954.

WALLOWA COUNTYWinter is a good time to find raptors in the Wallowa Valley. Particularly common are red-tailed hawks, with many rough-legged hawks andbald eagles also present. Of particular interest, this year is a gyrfalcon that has been wintering in the lower Prairie Creek area east of Enterprise for the last couple of weeks. View from county roads: try Dobbin Road and Bicentennial Lane. It is often seen on telephone poles or trees above ponds. Also, several merlins have been sighted in the area between Joseph and Enterprise. See bald eagles at Wallowa Lake. Winter is a good time to view mule deer and white-tailed deer as they are more actively feeding during the limited hours of daylight this time of year. A good place to observe mule deer is along the Wallowa Lake highway between Joseph and the south end of Wallowa Lake. Drive slowly and watch along the moraine on the east side of the lake around dawn and dusk. Be careful to use the turnouts when stopping to watch these animals, as there will be other traffic on the road. White-tailed deer can be found throughout the Wallowa Valley on or near agricultural lands. The elk on the Zumwalt Prairie have moved off the open prairie now and are on the slopes of the lmnaha and Snake River Canyons where they are more difficult to view. Once you find a herd, use binoculars or a spotting scope to observe the animals. Large numbers of migrant waterfowl can be seen flying into Wallowa Lake in the evenings from the county park at the north end of the lake. Canada geese and several species of ducks can be seen feeding in agricultural fields and along streams around the county. Other winter migrants have begun to move into the area including several bald eagles, hooded mergansers, qoldfinches, andboth cedar and Bohemian waxwinqs. Of particular interest was a Cape Mav warbler that has been seen this past week in Enterprise.

Remember the Wallowa River is a whitefish factory. Whitefish can be a great way to keep kids interested while steelhead fishing and can be great table fair. Simply tie in a small bead-head nymph dropper while fishing under a bobber rig and let the fun begin. Also, steelhead will often take a bead head nymph hanging under a jig.

NORTHEAST ZONE HUNTING OPEN: COUGAR, UPLAND BIRD (remaining seasons close Jan. 31) BAKER COUNTY Chukar, Hun, and California Quail season end Jan. 31, 2015.

Cougars can be found throughout Baker County but hunters should target areas with high concentrations of deer and elk. Setting up on a fresh kill or using distress calls can all be productive techniques. Hunters are required to check in the hide of any cougar taken, with skull and proof of sex attached. Remember to pick up a 2015 tag.

Coyote numbers are good throughout the district. Try calling in early morning and late afternoon. Remember to ask for permission before hunting on private properties.

UNION COUNTY Cougars are common in Union County. Focus on game rich areas with long ridgelines or saddles that cats typically travel. Setting up downwind of a deer or elk killed by a cougar can be productive.

Nonresident hunters can include a cougar tag with others tags for only $14.50. All cougars taken must be checked in within 10 days of harvest; call for an appointment before check in. Remember to pick up a tag for 2015.

Coyote numbers are good throughout the district. Try calling in early morning and late afternoon. Remember to ask for permission before hunting on private properties.

Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area is open Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday and federal holidays Waterfowl seasons are closed. Quail season is open through January 31. Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area is open Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday and federal holidays during pheasant, quail, partridge and waterfowl seasons. Visitors are advised to carefully read posted signs and consult game bird regulations before entering the wildlife area.

WALLOWA COUNTY Elk - Numbers of elk are strong throughout most of Wallowa County with good bull to cow ratios in all units. Most animals are now on winter ranges at lower elevations. Our last antlerless elk season for the year closed on Friday January 16'" and success was moderate to high. While some elk have begun to move back out onto the Zumwalt Prairie, most are on the canyon slopes along the eastern edge of the Prairie where they are less accessible.

Chukar hunting is closing Jan. 31.

Coyote: Good numbers of coyotes can be found throughout Wallowa County. Calling coyotes with rabbit distress type calls has been effective for hunters. It is important to choose areas with abundant coyote sign and little human activity.

Cougar numbers are strong throughout Wallowa County. Most lions are taken incidental to other hunting; however, calling with fawn bleat, or locating a cougar kill and waiting for a cat to return are often successful techniques.

Northeast Zone WILDLIFE VIEWING BAKER COUNTY Bighorn sheep can be seen in the Burnt River Canyon west of Durkee or along the Snake River Road south of Richland. The best viewing is in the early morning and late in the evening. Bald and golden eagles can be seen along the Snake River. Take the Snake River Road between Richland and Huntington. Deer and elk are returning to the valley to winter. Early in the morning and late in the afternoon are good times to view wildlife. Driving through the foothills of the Baker valley and through the Keating valley can turn up good numbers of deer.

Elkhorn WildlifeArea Elkhorn Wildlife Area is known for the Rocky Mountain elk and mule deer herds that frequent the area during the winter. When snow covers the ground, ODFW staff feed elk and deer to encourage them to stay in the higher elevations and out of agricultural fields. There are two good viewing sites. The Anthony Creek site is located about eight miles west of 1-84 on North Powder River Lane. From 1-84 take the North Powder Exit (Exit 285). About 150 elk can be seen here on any given day. From the overlook on Auburn Road, watch hundreds of elk and mule deer. It is on the south side of Old Auburn Road, which branches off Highway 7 about six miles south of Baker City.

UNION COUNTY Ladd Narsh WildlifeArea The Tule Lake autoroute is closed to vehicles. The Tule Lake unit and most of the wildlife will close to all public entry Sunday, February 1 with the closing of the quail hunting season. Tule Lake will re-open March 1. The Glass Hill Unit will also be closed to all public entry beginning February1. Glass Hill will be closed through March 30 to benefit wintering wildlife.

Visitors are advised to carefully read posted signs and consult the wildlife area administrative rules. Rules that apply to all areas are at the top (at the above link), and then scroll down to page 8, ¹635-008-120, for additional rules specific to Ladd Marsh. Dogs are not permitted within the Wildlife Area, on or off leash except during authorized hunting seasons. There are numerous quality viewing opportunities from county roads that pass through the area. Binoculars or a spotting scope will help as many animals are best viewed from a distance. Water levels in ponds and wetlands are good. Waterfowl present in the area include Canada goose, greater white-fronted goose, common merganser and many duck species. About a dozen tundra swans were seen recently west of Hwy 203. More swans should arrive soon. Large numbers of white-crowned sparrows have been found in shrubby areas along with song sparrows. Northern shrikes continue in several locations across the area. Feeders at HQ are hosting goldfinch, house finch, Cassin's finch, black-capped chickadee, dark-eyed junco, song sparrow, flicker, collared-dove, house sparrow and California quail. A flock of evening grosbeaks have been at the feeders intermittently. Raptors include Red-tailed Hawk, Northern Harrier, Rough-legged Hawk, Great horned and Barn Owls, Cooper's and Sharp-shinned Hawks and American Kestrel. A few warm, windless afternoons have given the place a spring feeling including Canada geese apparently checking out and claiming nest sites. For more information on access rules for Ladd Marsh Wildlife Area, please consult the Oregon Game Bird Regulations or call the wildlife area (541) 963-4954.

WALLOWA COUNTYWinter is a good time to find raptors in the Wallowa Valley. Particularly common are red-tailed hawks, with many rough-legged hawks andbald eagles also present. Of particular interest, this year is a gyrfalcon that has been wintering in the lower Prairie Creek area east of Enterprise for the last couple of weeks. View from county roads: try Dobbin Road and Bicentennial Lane. It is often seen on telephone poles or trees above ponds. Also, several merlins have been sighted in the area between Joseph and Enterprise. See bald eagles at Wallowa Lake. Winter is a good time to view mule deer and white-tailed deer as they are more actively feeding during the limited hours of daylight this time of year. A good place to observe mule deer is along the Wallowa Lake highway between Joseph and the south end of Wallowa Lake. Drive slowly and watch along the moraine on the east side of the lake around dawn and dusk. Be careful to use the turnouts when stopping to watch these animals, as there will be other traffic on the road. White-tailed deer can be found throughout the Wallowa Valley on or near agricultural lands. The elk on the Zumwalt Prairie have moved off the open prairie now and are on the slopes of the lmnaha and Snake River Canyons where they are more difficult to view. Once you find a herd, use binoculars or a spotting scope to observe the animals. Large numbers of migrant waterfowl can be seen flying into Wallowa Lake in the evenings from the county park at the north end of the lake. Canada geese and several species of ducks can be seen feeding in agricultural fields and along streams around the county. Other winter migrants have begun to move into the area including several bald eagles, hooded mergansers, qoldfinches, andboth cedar and Bohemian waxwinqs. Of particular interest was a Cape Mav warbler that has been seen this past week in Enterprise.
