MID COAST LAKES
The rainbow trout stock-
ing program is in full
swing and most water bod-
ies have been stocked
recently or will be soon
again. Most areas will be
stocked multiple times
until early June. Be sure to
check out the 2015 stock-
ing schedule for the most
up to date information.
Fishing for the various
warm water fish species
can be productive during
the spring months as lake
temperatures start to rise
and fish begin spawning.
Anglers will start finding
more fish up in the shal-
lows over the next month.

Vikings shut out
by Billies, 10-0
Things ended early last Friday on the road at
Pleasant Hill, where the Viking softball team
managed only two hits in five innings against
the Billies, but committed six errors.
Meanwhile, Pleasant Hill opened with two
runs in the first inning, then added three more
in the second for a quick 5-0 lead.
Errors in the third inning by Siuslaw allowed
the Billies to tack on five more runs en route to
a five-inning, 10-0 shutout.
Friday, the Viks will host Marshfield for a
doubleheader, beginning at 3 p.m.
Steelhead
The winter steelhead
fishery is starting to slow
down for the season but
decent numbers of fish are
still around the Whittaker
Creek area. The river
should fish well later in the
grounds, day-use areas, trails, bike-
ways and heritage sites.
“This is a beautiful overview, but
it’s just a place to start,” said Chris
Havel, spokesperson for OPRD.
“Most parks, and many campgrounds,
are open all year. The real adventure
begins when you get up, go out and
explore.”
The guide has been thoroughly
updated for 2015, with revised or
expanded listings for each property,
