Accomplishments

CCA Oregon’s success is driven by the combined strength of dedicated volunteers and a professional presence in Salem. From community events and habitat efforts to testimony before the Legislature and the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission, members across the state work together to protect and enhance recreational fishing. This unified approach ensures that the voice of anglers is heard where decisions are made, and that conservation, access, and opportunity remain at the forefront. It’s a reflection of what can be accomplished when passionate volunteers and focused advocacy come together for the future of our fisheries. What follows is a long list of our accomplishments in 2025.

REASONS TO JOIN CCA

CCA Oregon

Advocacy

CCA Oregon uses its influence to affect change at the state capital, at the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife and at various regional and federal agencies. CCA Oregon employs one of the capital’s most effective lobbyists as well as our regional fisheries director, both people critical in our success.

Habitat

The importance of healthy habitat for salmonids remains one of our top priorities which we demonstrate by helping to fund much needed habitat improvement projects throughout the state.

The Model

Using the time-proven CCA model of “member driven” issues is executed by our volunteers and professional staff which has shown to work both nationally and regionally. Our 10 local chapters help identify issues affecting fisheries in their local area.

Hatcheries

That 70% of all salmon and steelhead caught in Oregon are hatchery fish, it is with renewed emphasis that CCA Oregon continues to work with federal and state agencies to ensure that Oregon hatcheries are properly funded with the intent of providing more opportunities to the sport anglers in Oregon.
