the water is extremely low and
clear.
the water level in many of the
smaller streams is extremely
low. Fishing is restricted to
artificial flies and lures in
streams above tidewater.
The water level in Tenmile
Lakes is extremely low and
boat anglers should use cau-
tion when boating in the lakes.
Tenmile Lakes is open all
year for trout but trout fishing
has been slow.
Bass anglers have been
catching several largemouth
bass in Tenmile Lakes. Bass
can be found this time of the
year in shallow water near
structure like logs or weed
lines.
A few anglers have been
catching yellow perch from
the fishing dock at the County
Boat Ramp and near the edge
of the weedlines. A worm or
piece of cut bait fished near
the bottom works well for
catching yellow perch.
YAQUINA RIVER:
productive as wells as small
spoons or fly fishing with
nymphs or streamers.
SALMON RIVER : Cutthroat
trout
Cutthroat trout fishing is
slow to fair with the early
morning being the most pro-
ductive. Using small lures like
spinners, spoons or various
flies can be productive.
SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead,
cutthroat trout
Summer steelhead fishing is
fair in the upper river. Low
flows and warming river tem-
peratures are making new fish
race up into the cooler holding
waters of the gorge area. New
fish will continually be mov-
ing into the river through the
summer with peak numbers
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 harvest and can be
found throughout the main
stem river and many large trib-
utaries.
WILSON RIVER: Steelhead,
Chinook, cutthroat
Spring Chinook fishing is
slow in the low clear water.
Summer steelhead fishing is
slow also. Fishing for cut-
throat trout should be fair. Use
lighter gear for best results as
Cutthroat trout
Cutthroat trout fishing is
slow to fair. The best opportu-
nities are coming in the early
mornings when river tempera-
tures are the coolest. River
conditions are very low and
warm for this time of year.
The mainstem Yaquina and
Big Elk Creek are good places
to try casting small spinners or
spoons as well as bait fishing
near the head of tide.
UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH:
Steelhead
The South Umpqua River,
including all tributaries, is
closed to fishing for trout,
steelhead, and salmon from 2
p.m. until an hour before sun-
rise.
The mainstem South
Umpqua upstream to Jackson
Creek Bridge is open to fish-
ing, with trout fishing being
strictly catch-and-release.
Fishing is restricted to the
use of artificial flies and lures.
Smallmouth bass fishing,
which remains open under
normal rules, should be pro-
ductive especially in the morn-
ing and late afternoon/early
evening.
TENMILE BASIN: Trout,
largemouth bass, yellow perch
Streams in the Tenmile
Basin are open for trout
although there is a 2 p.m. fish-
ing closure for trout, salmon
and steelhead in streams above
tidewater.
Most of the larger rivers
will be too warm for trout and
Ryan Klampe, 8, of Florence, as been competing in
PeeWee golf tournaments all over Oregon this
summer. Last weekend, Klampe traveled to

Allard Memorial PeeWee Division OGA tourna-
ment, held July 27 and 28. Klampe finished second
in the 8-9 age group.
COOS COUNTY LAKES
and PONDS: Largemouth

many of the Coos County
lakes. Fishing for bass will be
best in the mornings and late
evenings.

Fishing for bottomfish in
the Triangle and South jetty
