Thank You

Oregon BASS Federation would like to thank you for your participation in this year’s Sportsman’s Expo.   Your firm’s participation in this event played a large part in its success.

As the graph below shows, we had some production of bass in 2006 (the year prior to the moratorium), very little to no bass produced in 2007 (the first year of the moratorium), and bass production in 2008 (the second year of the moratorium). If you focus on the one-year old fish (those less than 110 mm or 4-1/2 inches), you can see that in 2008 sampling (green bars) there are very few fish that are one-year old (smaller than 110mm) but there are plenty of these one-year olds in 2007 and 2009. Interestingly enough the one-year old fish present in 2007 (yellow bars ~ 100mm) show up in the 2009 sampling (blue bars) as 3-year old fish around 220 to 290 mm.
