LEWISTON GETS ORRELL LEWISTON, Idaho tfl Veteran right-hander Joe Orrell, formerly with Calgary, will report 'to Lew iston of the Western International League Saturday, ' ' ' Goirv After em ... ; . By DON HARGER This column has lent ear to a few snide remarks about our rather constant voicing of the virtues of Westport, Wn. as a salmon I I Vs- L MIDGE NYMPHS Good for Summer Months where a party of four can get fishing center. A few want to know why we don't give more consideration to our own Win chester bay salmon fishing. Well tell I you just why this comes , about . . . The chief reason for turning our backs a little on the Winchester bay fishing, especially V from a standpoint of charter boat . fishing, is the high cost of boat - ( 'v charters along, our Oregon coast y . . A first hand check at Win- : ' Chester informs us that it will cost a party of four exactly sixty ' dollars for a four hour trip. In- as much as it takes an hoar of that time going and coming across the , bar, that leaves three hours of fishing time. Compare that price with Westport charter trips boat for fifty dollars and be out on the fishing grounds for eight or ten hours . . . Most of the boat rentals at Westport go for forty dollars for a full six hour charter. This gives an angler considerable more for his money. Too, most of the boat rental services along the Oregon coast are more inter ested in taking your money and giving you a boat ride than they are in catching you some fish. Every angler with whom we have talked after a return from Westport voices the same opinion: The charter boat operators in that fishing spot are most interested In catching fish, or seeing that the party catches fish. No License Required by Anglers There ., t Another feature of the Washington fishing is that salmon are classified as a food fish in that state and no license is re quired to angle for them. The non-resident need not worry . about a license and his catch limit is three salmon a day. This column, although not always without error, tries to direct the angler to the area where he will get the most for his money and the tops in fishing. We can't be 100 percent correct all of the time. If we were, it would certainly! become bonng aner a time. On the other hand those anglers who own and operate their l personal boats will find excellent ' salmon fishing off Oregon's coast From the waters offshore of the Chetco river In southern Oregon to the Columbia river there are numerous spots that offer the finest ia salmon fishing. In fact right at the moment, for those who have no desire to cross the bar in a small boat may find good salmon fishing inside at Yaquina bay. From the bridge down bay to the tip of the south jetty is usually most productive at this time of year. The water, on an incoming tide is safe to fish, even at the very tip of the jetty. Chinook salmon are also being hooked at this time of year, at the mouth of the Nestucca river. Leave us not pull any punches in passing a warning that the mouth of the Nestucca can be dangerous " a -mm mm a m -' mm. & m A mm m 1 mmmt m on, an out-going tide. Dangerous inai is, u a person sew to tne jaws ana a motor xaus ... 'Mooching Will Make for Easier Fishing As the herring mooching erne becomes better established In this area, we will probably find many salmon fishing areas close to home which will produce well with a minimum amount of trouble and cost Fish were taken consistently last season in upper tidal reaches by the use of herring. It stands that other hav and Mtnaries will come into the light before long -i . Now that the hot weather soems to be with us! for a stay, we win finrf th fiv fishing nn-the Willamette valley streams improving. The only advice being thamost of the good fishing will be done In h .v.ninir rirfrinv that last hruir nf l?al fishing.

Wildlife Schooling Slated for Girls What wildlife do we have in Oregon? Can a porcupine throw its quIUs? Can a fish live after, he' been hooked? ' These and many other questions regarding the out of doors will be answered for the campers at Camp Smith Creek (Girl Scouts) on.. Friday, July 23, by Oregon Game Commission education agent Austin Hamer. Hamer will spend a day at the camp both talking to the campers and . displaying mounted birds, antlers, and furs and leading hikes to nearby areas to point out the interesting natural features.
