A
FISHING REPORT FOR
THE LOCAL REGION
www.dfw.state.or.us/RR
It’s the fifth week of the
season, and the Ohio State
Buckeyes find themselves
in a situation they’re not
familiar with: They’re in
danger of losing.
To the Hoosiers, no less.
Ezekiel Elliott, running
back for the scarlet and
gray, has the answer. He
runs for 274 yards on 23
carries, including touch-
down runs of 55, 65 and 75
yards, before watching
from the sideline as Indiana
tries in vain to answer back.
Moments later, the
Buckeyes run off the field,
fingers pointing to the sky.
They came onto the field
ranked No. 1 in the nation
and they ran off the field in
the same position.
It’s nothing new to the
Buckeyes. In fact, they’ve
run off the field No. 1 as
often as any team in the
nation, and by the time you
read this, more times than
any other program in histo-
ry.
MID COAST LAKES:
Fishing for the various
warm water fish species is
fair to good during the sum-
mer months. There are
numerous lakes in the
Florence area that can pro-
vide good opportunity and
have boat and bank access.

RIVER:
Chinook, coho, cutthroat

Fall Chinook fishing is
producing fair to good
results from the lower bay
up to Cushman with fair
numbers of fish starting to
push up to the Mapleton
area. Trolling herring, spin-
ners or bobber fishing can
all be productive.
The wild coho fishery is
open through Oct. 15 with a
daily bag limit of 1 adult
coho and seasonal limit of 2
adult coho (in aggregate
with other areas with the
same bag limit). The lower
bay up to the North Fork
confluence typically pro-
duces the best results early
in the season. Lake Creek
will not open for wild coho
in 2015.
The cutthroat trout fish-
ery is fair for sea runs in the
lower reaches of the river
and in upper tide water.
Fishing during the early
mornings or near the larger
tributaries is the most pro-
ductive.

There were more than 250 participants in last Sunday’s third annual Dive for the Cure, a fundraiser for Oregon
Health Science University’s Knight Cancer Institute that took place at the Lake Woahink Day Use Area. Held in
conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, divers from around the region participated in events such as
the underwater poker run and flipper race, as well as listened to speakers — all while raising money for the can-
cer institute. Local contributions as of Monday totaled more than $44,000, with an additional $75,000 being
donated by corporate sponsor Burger King. “This makes Dive for the Cure the largest grassroots fundraiser for the
OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, with more than $500,000 being raised in the last eight years,” said Diana
Hollingshead of Dive for the Cure. (More photos on page 4B)

Taylor Dotson.
But the Pirates, who are now 17-0
overall, don’t sink easily and battled
back to narrowly take the second set,
25-23. That momentum carried into the
third set for a three-game sweep, 25-13.
Rose had eight kills and three blocks
for Siuslaw, with Dotson scoring seven
kills and one block. Freshman
Makenzie York had four kills and three
blocks.
The loss meant the Vikings (4-3) no
longer had sole possession of second
place, sharing it with South Umpqua as
they headed back home to Glenn Butler

The Vikings had their hands full last
Tuesday night on the road at
Marshfield, taking on the league’s only
unbeaten team (7-0) which, with two
more Far West wins, could wrap up its
third-straight league title.
“We knew it would be our biggest
challenge and a win would be big for
us,” said Siuslaw coach Angie Herring,
whose team had sole possession of sec-
ond place coming into the game.
After losing the first set 25-14, the
Viks came back strong in game two,
leveraging a 19-11 lead on power hit-
ting from junior Elyssa Rose and senior
