Sophomore leaper Abby View from 1B discussing that, a 21-year-old out of Dallas, named Jordan Spieth teed off and led the Masters from start to finish, wire-to-wire, in one of the most dominant performances the sport had ever seen. That Spieth’s record-tying 18-under-par victory came at Fishing from 1B SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead Steelhead fishing is slow to fair. Fish are being caught in most sections depending on Watkins landed first in the long jump (16-01), then went on to place second in the 4x100- meter relay with Elyssa Rose, Jakobsen and Miller (53.18).

This weekend, select Viking will be competing in the Oregon relays at the U of O. the Masters should probably come as no surprise. After all, he was streaking on his way into the tournament, and he was last year’s runner-up. But he was a surprise. And he was the kind of surprise that everyone liked. Here was a clean-cut Catholic kid, compet- itive but not cocky, who ran a charitable trust for his autistic sister. His caddie is a former sixth-grade math teacher who, by happenstance, now has one of the best jobs on the circuit. I never understood until this year’s Masters why Jack Nicklaus would gripe how none of the players on today’s tour would “go after” Tiger Woods. The breakthrough came courtesy of Phil Mickelson. While Woods was hacking through the pine straw after every overblown drive Sunday and getting outplayed by McIlroy, Mickelson was play- ing more aggressively than ever. His shots were imagina- tive, using every pitch and undulating roll of the green, anything he could do to gain a stroke on Spieth, who set the record for birdies on the course. Mickelson finished four strokes off the pace at 14 under, a score that any other year wins the tournament. Any other year but this year. This year — and for many more years to come — you’ll be reading about Spieth and McIlroy the way you used to read about Mickelson and Woods, Watson and Crenshaw, Nicklaus and Palmer. Clearly, it is their time. river conditions. This time of year tends to produce a good percent of native fish and/or post spawn fish. Typical steel- head tactics apply such as side drifting, bobber and jig / bait, or casting spoons or spinners. WILSON RIVER: Steelhead, Chinook Winter steelhead fishing should be slow to fair. Last weekend’s rain brought good numbers of fish into the sys- tem. Fish will be holding ups as flows are low. Bank anglers can find success throughout the river. Boaters should fish the lower drifts until more rains come. Use lighter gear in the clear water. Spring Chinook fishing opens April 1, but few fish will be present for several weeks. steelhead fishing tactics apply but the Big Elk is bed rock dominated and does have a lot of snags.

Anglers are advised to watch for private property. Typical UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH: Steelhead Fish have been caught in the Canyonville area and hatchery fish have been reported. The hatchery program for winter steelhead is centered in the South Umpqua, which offers the best chance for catching an adipose-fin clipped steelhead for harvest. Most hatchery fish are caught from Canyonville downstream. 3 B www.shoppelocal.biz Siuslaw News + DIVERSIFIED MARINE & EQUIPMENT SALES OREGON COAST’S SUPERSTORE Special Financing r available fo Veterans “Where You Always Get a Whale of a Deal!” Metal Buildings • Wooden Sheds Consignment: ATVs, Rvs, Boats, Cars & Trucks Complete Detail Service: RVs, Cars, Trucks & Boats Enclosed/Open Trailers for Sale or Rent Boat, Motor, Trailer Repair Service Used Vehicle Sales diversifi edmarineandequipmentsales.com Veteran Owned & Operated • Jim & Bonnie Johnston, Owners 2530 Hwy. 101, Florence • 541-997-4505 Helping Hands Coalition Assisting those in need in our Community.
