New guide outlines 65 key county fishing spots
Anglers in Lane County now
have a new guide to more than
five dozen fishing spots, from
the Oregon Coast to the
Cascade Mountains.
In a partnership between the
Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife and Travel Lane
County, the guide “65 Places to
go Fishing in Lane County”
offers key details to help novice
to expert anglers navigate their
way to the region's lakes, rivers
and streams.
“We are excited to offer local
and visiting anglers a piece that
shows the diversity and extent
of fishing in our area,” said
Samara Phelps, Director of
Visitor Services, at the Eugene,
Cascades and Coast Adventure
Center. “Whether it’s fishing on
the Oregon Coast or on the
McKenzie River, we hope to
inspire new and experienced
anglers to explore locations
across the county.”
The guide outlines the types
of fish found or stocked in each
locale, as well as key amenities
such as boat launches, picnic
areas, camping facilities, dis-
abled access and restrooms.
Listings
also
include
whether parking, day-use or
other fees apply.
A map inside pinpoints the
65 fishing spots located in and
around Eugene, Springfield,
Cottage
Grove,
Dexter,
Leaburg, Blue River, Oakridge,
Florence, Veneta, Junction City
and Cheshire.

illustrations of common fish
found in Lane County waters to
help anglers identify everything
from Chinook salmon and
largemouth bass to rainbow
trout and crappie. Tips for
embarking on a fishing trip via
a drift boat, pontoon or kayak
provide helpful hints for suc-
cessful, safe trips.
A total of 10,000 guides have
been printed and will be distrib-
uted at key locations through
the Oregon Department of Fish
and Wildlife and information
“We know there are many
popular fisheries here, but real-
ize that we have some locations
that don’t get the attention they
merit,”
said
Shannon
Richardson, Fisheries Biologist
for the Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife. “Partnering
with Travel Lane County
allows us to get the word out
about the angling opportunities
in Lane County and empower
people to get outdoors and get
fishing.”
The guide features full-color
centers.
Travel Lane County will dis-
tribute them at the Eugene,
Cascades and Coast Downtown
Visitor Center and the
Adventure
Center
in
Springfield, as well as at key
partner venues from hotels to
trade shows.

Every runner should take a
few moments and consider
their safety while running.
Running is generally a safe
activity, but there are still perils
worth considering and prepar-
ing for.
For example, running at
night, while often pleasant due
to lower temperatures and
decreased traffic, brings with it
the added danger of decreased
visibility.
The weather can pose run-
ning safety risks. Running in
extremely hot or cold weather
requires special precautions, in
Sailors
tracts you into being complete-
ly aware of your environment.
• Avoid unpopulated areas,
deserted streets, lonely trails —
and especially avoid unlighted
routes at night.
• Vary the route and the time
of day that you run.
• Run in familiar areas. Note
the location of neighbors you
trust along your route.
• Know where police are
usually to be found and where
businesses, stores, offices are
likely to be open and active.
During the run —
• Always stay alert. The

off-seasons in NFL history.
Rex Ryan is building a
“bully” in Buffalo, the Jets
signed Darrelle Revis, the
49ers are imploding before
our very eyes ... I mean, why
even wait to start the season?
Let’s just go now.
Let’s set another kickoff
after the Mayweather fight.
It’s all anyone talks about.
The NFL has completely
blown every other sport off
the back pages. What are we
going to talk about?
The Los Angeles Clippers?
Please. People are talking
about Philadelphia in places
other than Philadelphia! This
is amazing.
I kid Philadelphia, but I am
not kidding when I say that
Chip is really up to some-
thing good over there.
Trading for a mishandled
Sam Bradford, signing the
disrespected
Demarco
Murray, meeting with the
revered Tim Tebow ... it
makes for great theater.
Truly, he’s putting a team
together that has — pardon
the pun — a huge chip on its
shoulder.
• Run against traffic so that
you can observe the approach
of automobiles.
• If the same car cruises past
you more than once, take down
even a partial license number
and make it obvious that you
are aware of its presence (but
keep your distance).
If confronted —
• Run toward populated
areas, busy streets, open busi-
nesses.
• Ignore jeers and verbal
harassment. Keep moving.
• Use discretion in acknowl-
edging strangers. Be friendly,
more aware you are, the less
vulnerable you are. Think about
possible escape routes in case
of confrontation.
• Take notice of who is ahead
of you and who is behind you.
Know where the nearest public
sites are with some general
activity — there is usually safe-
ty in numbers.
• When in doubt, follow your
intuition and avoid potential
trouble. If something seems
suspicious, do not panic, but
run in a different direction.
• Run clear of parked cars,
bushes and dark areas.

• Do not approach a car to
give directions or the time of
day. Point toward the nearest
police or information source,
shrug your shoulders, but keep
moving.
If you feel you must respond,
do it while moving.
• Don’t panic and don’t run
toward a more isolated area.
