B OTTOM F ISHING
Rockfish and lingcod catch-
es were good last week when
anglers could get out. Fishers
out of Newport continue to
report abundant squid, both
visible in the water and in the
stomachs of their rockfish;
rockfish are also reportedly
feeding on Velella velella, also
known as By-The-Wind-Sailor
jellyfish, which are easily rec-
ognizable by their bright blue
“sail.”
Cabezon fishing is closed
through June 30.
C LAMMING : Razor clam-
ming remain closed from the
Oregon/California border north
to the south jetty of the
Siuslaw River in Florence due
to elevated levels of domoic
acid.
The closure includes razor
clams on all beaches, rocks,
jetties, and at the entrance to
bays in this section of the
Oregon Coast.
Opportunities to collect
razor clams are still available
along Oregon beaches north of
the Siuslaw River.
• Recreational harvesting of
mussels is closed from
Cascade Head (north of
Lincoln City) to the north jetty
of the Rogue River (at Gold
Beach) due to elevated levels
of Paralytic Shellfish Toxin.
The ODA’s toll free shell-
fish safety hotline is 1-800-
448-2474.

Hello there. Are you looking for a

be a lover not a loner! I would also
like to mention that I get along well
with other cats, not just people! I’m a
wonderful cat and I can’t wait to fi nd
my forever family!
