small spinners, spoons and
fly fishing can be very pro-

ALSEA RIVER:
Cutthroat trout

ery is fair in the mainstem

nymphs or streamers.
SALMON RIVER :
Cutthroat trout
Cutthroat trout fishing is

ductive.
Seven individuals and three teams
will take to the stage at the Florence
Events Center to be recognized and
celebrated for their contributions to
Siuslaw athletics both on and off the
field, court or hardwood.
With names spanning nearly 40
years of athletic achievement and
community service, this year’s hon-
orees include individuals who made
their mark in everything from golf,
track, basketball and football, as well
as a spirit of volunteerism that has
helped Siuslaw cross country and
track programs become one of the
best in the state.
Beginning in 1959, the first
inductee will be John LaDuke, who
