Former Gov. Tom McCall's fly fishing statue vandalized in Salem's Riverfront Park

The statue of former Oregon Gov. Tom McCall in Salem's Riverfront Park has been vandalized. 

The bronze, 10-foot-tall statue depicts McCall holding a steelhead in one hand and a fly rod in the other. Recently, the top portion of the fly rod went missing. 

Lt. Treven Upkes with Salem Police said they have not received any calls about the vandalism as of Saturday morning. 

The memorial was created by Rip Caswell and dedicated at a ceremony in 2008. It's based on a 1973 photo of McCall emerging from the Umpqua River. 

A University of Oregon graduate, McCall was Oregon's 30th governor, serving from 1967 to 1975.
