MID COAST LAKES
Fishing for the various
warm water fish species
can be productive during
the spring as lake tempera-
tures start to rise and fish
begin spawning. Anglers
will start finding more fish
up in the shallows this time
of year.
SIUSLAW RIVER:
Cutthroat trout
The cutthroat trout sea-
son is now open for the
season. The main stem of
the Siuslaw and Lake
Creek can be good fishing
as well as the larger tribu-
taries entering these sys-
tems. Bait is not allowed
above the head of tide but
small spinners, spoons and
fly fishing can be very pro-
ductive.
ALSEA RIVER: Cutthroat
trout
The cutthroat trout sea-
son is now open for the
season and anglers should
have fair to good results in
most of the larger tributar-
ies and mainstem. Small
spinners are typically pro-
ductive as wells as small
spoons or fly fishing with
nymphs or streamers.
SALMON RIVER:
Cutthroat trout
Cutthroat trout are now
open to harvest. Typically
good fishing can be had
during the early part of the
season. Using small lures
like spinners, spoons or
various flies can be pro-
ductive.
SILETZ RIVER:
Steelhead
Summer steelhead fish-
ing is slowly starting to
pick up. New fish will con-
tinually be moving into the
river over the next few
months with the peak num-
bers typically in July. River
flows are much lower than
normal for this time of year
so think small and subtle
presentations.
Typical steelhead tactics
apply such as bobber and
jig / bait, or casting spoons
or spinners. Cutthroat trout
are now also open to har-
vest and can be found
throughout the main stem
river and many large tribu-
taries.
WILSON RIVER: steel-
head, Chinook, cutthroat
Spring Chinook fishing
is slow in the low clear
water. A few more fish are
showing in the river.
Summer steelhead angling
is slow also. Angling for
cutthroat trout should be
fair. Use lighter gear for
best results.
YAQUINA RIVER: cut-
throat trout
The cutthroat trout sea-
son is open and anglers can
expect to have fair to good
fishing. The mainstem
Yaquina and Big Elk Creek
are good places to try cast-
ing small spinners or
spoons as well as bait fish-
ing near the head of tide.
UMPQUA RIVER,
SOUTH: Steelhead
The mainstem South
Umpqua upstream to
Jackson Creek Bridge is
open to fishing, with trout
fishing being strictly catch
and release.
Catch and release trout
fishing in South Umpqua
tributaries below Jackson
Creek Bridge is also open,
with fishing restricted to
the use of artificial flies
and lures.
Smallmouth bass fishing
should be productive with
warming water tempera-
tures.

Members of the Ocean Dunes Ladies Golf League tee off each Wednesday.
The ladies golf league at Ocean Dunes
Golf Links is looking for new members. The
league meets every Wednesday at 5:10 p.m.
during the summer for no-pressure golf.
According to PGA Professional Bob
Rannow, the league was designed for those
who are new to golf, or haven’t played in a
while, to have fun while learning or relearn-
ing the fundamentals in a no-pressure atmos-
phere with a great group of ladies.
The group plays in a scramble format in
teams of four and prizes are awarded to the
team with the lowest gross and the lowest
net.
The fee for the summer is $85.
For more information, call Rannow at
541-997-3232.
Sheriffs warn against boating, drinking
According to the U.S. Coast
Guard, alcohol is a major fac-
tor in 50 percent of recreation-
al boating fatalities nation-
wide. Passengers are just as
likely to be injured or killed
because the majority of inci-
dents occur from falling over-
board.
Operator inattention is also a
primary contributing factor in
crashes and other boating inci-
dents.
Boat operators are consid-
ered to be Boating Under the
Influence of Intoxicants (BUII)
if they are impaired by drugs or
have a blood alcohol content of
.08 percent or more.
The law also applies to oper-
ators of motorized boats and
non-motorized crafts such as
rafts, kayaks and canoes.
Penalties can include:
• Fines of up to $6,250.00
• Up to one year in jail
• Loss of boating privileges
for one year
• Boat registration suspen-
sion for up to three years
• Mandatory completion of a
boating safety education class
Fact: Alcohol impairs your
balance, coordination, vision,
judgment and reaction time.
Fact: The motion of the
boat, the glare of the sun, the
noise of the motor and the
wind compound the effects of
alcohol.
Fact: Alcohol is absorbed
directly into the blood stream.
Its effects are usually apparent
within minutes.
Drinking alcohol faster than
the body can burn it off will
increase blood alcohol levels.
Fact: It is okay for passen-
gers to drink, however drink-
ing passengers greatly increase
their risks of falling overboard
and drowning.
Boat owners may be held
liable and sued for the injuries
or deaths of their intoxicated
passengers.
The fact is that impairment
by alcohol consumption is
amplified on the water.
Environmental factors, such
as wind, sun, noise and motion
can magnify the affects of
alcohol and make it difficult
for someone to assist them-
selves in their own rescue in a
cold water event like falling
overboard.
