4 B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 2015 Fishing from 1B season as most fish have already spawned. COOS caught from the lower river up to the hatchery. Good numbers of fish typically start returning over the next few weeks. SALMON RIVER: Steelhead Winter steelhead are starting to show up in most coastal basins. Salmon River does get a good return of wild winter steelhead and an occasional stray hatchery fish. SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead, Chinook Winter steelhead season is underway with a small number steelhead being caught from the lower river up to Moonshine Park by both bank and boat anglers. This time of year is typically slow to fair for winter steelhead. Fall Chinook fishing is slow as most remain- ing fish have moved onto the spawning grounds. SIUSLAW RIVER: Steelhead, Chinook Winter steelhead are starting to show up in small numbers around the mid to lower sec- tions of the Siuslaw and Lake Creek. Fall Chinook fishing is very slow and any remaining fish have moved onto the spawning grounds. WILSON RIVER: Chinook, steelhead Fall Chinook are still avail- able in decent numbers. Fish should be spread out through the river, especially after rains raised the river last week. Release dark fish to spawn. All techniques should produce fish, with bobber and bait, back bouncing, bait-wrapped plugs, and casting spinners among the best. Winter steelhead are avail- able in increasing numbers as well. YAQUINA RIVER BASIN: Dungeness crab, bay clams, steelhead Steelhead have been caught this past week on the West Fork Millicoma, East Fork Millicoma, and South Fork Coos rivers. There is bank access on the West Fork Millicoma at the Millicoma Interpretive Center and on the East Fork Millicoma at Nesika Park. Access to the South Fork Coos River is through Weyerhaeuser property and anglers must have the appropri- ate permit from Weyerhaeuser. In the Coos Basin, one addi- tional fin-clipped steelhead may be retained per day for a total aggregate of three adult fish harvested daily. Crabbing in Coos Bay has been decent for boat crabbers. The best crabbing has been near the jetties but crabbers are getting legal-size crab all the way up to the BLM Boat Ramp. Clamming is excellent dur- ing low tides near Charleston, off Cape Arago Highway, and Clam Island. UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH: Steelhead The South Umpqua is open for steelhead. The peak num- bers of fish normally show up from February to late March. The South Umpqua offers the best chance for catching an adipose-fin clipped steelhead for harvest. The hatchery program for winter steelhead is centered in the South Umpqua. Most hatchery fish are caught from Canyonville downstream. All wild fish must be released unharmed. TENMILE BASIN: Yellow perch, coho salmon Yellow perch are biting on night crawlers or jigs tipped with a worm in Tenmile Lakes. Yellow perch will be concen- trated in big schools in deep water. Sometimes anglers need to try several spots before find- ing the bigger fish. There are lots of smaller yellow perch that anglers have to sort through to catch enough keep- ers for a meal. Some of the keeper yellow perch are over 12 inches long. The wild coho season open in Tenmile Lakes is closed. WINCHESTER BAY: Chinook, fin-clipped coho Most salmon have already moved upstream. Fishing for bottomfish in the Triangle and South jetty has been successful. Crabbing has been good recently. PACIFIC BEACHES: OCEAN and Bottomfish, Dungeness crab The ocean is open again for harvest of Dungeness crab. Fishing for bottom fish, includ- ing rockfish and lingcod is open to all depths. The marine fish daily bag limit is seven fish and a separate daily limit of two lingcod. Retention of cabezon is allowed but for only one cabezon per day per angler. P ACIFIC H ALIBUT : The 2014 Pacific halibut sea- sons have all closed for the remainder of the year. The International Pacific Halibut Commission will set 2015 quo- tas for all areas in late January 2015. More information on the 2015 seasons will be available after that time. B OTTOM F ISHING : The ocean is open to bottom fishing at all depths. This time of year, whenever the weather permits, bottom fishing can be great fun and very productive. Charter fishing trips are an especially good bet for visitors to the coast, making an ocean fishing experience easy and enjoyable with expert crews to help provide and rig gear and find good fishing locations. There are separate daily lim- its of two lingcod and flatfish other than Pacific halibut. Remember: Yelloweye rock- fish and canary rockfish may not be retained. C RAB : Ocean-caught crabs are big and full of meat this year, although crabbers might have to pay their dues in patience — many crabbers are reporting slow catch rates, but excellent quality crabs. Bay crabbing can also be very good this time of year.
