from 1B
and Big Elk Creek are good
places to try casting small spin-
ners 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 nor-
mal rules, should be productive
especially in the morning and
late afternoon/early evening.
TENMILE BASIN: Trout, large-
mouth bass, yellow perch
Streams in the Tenmile Basin
are open for trout although
there is a 2 p.m. fishing closure
for trout, salmon and steelhead
in streams above tidewater.
Most of the larger rivers will
be too warm for trout and the
water level in many of the
smaller streams is extremely
low. Fishing is restricted to arti-
ficial flies and lures in streams
above tidewater.
The water level in Tenmile
Lakes is extremely low and
boat anglers should use caution
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.
COOS COUNTY LAKES and
PONDS: Largemouth bass,
bluegills
Fishing for largemouth bass
and bluegills has been good in
many of the Coos County
lakes. Fishing for bass will be
best in the mornings and late
evenings.
Fish for bluegills around
structure like submerged logs
and weed lines.
COOS RIVER BASIN:
Dungeness crab, salmon, bay
clams, rockfish, trout
Streams in the Coos Basin
are open for trout although
there is a 2 p.m. fishing closure
for trout, salmon and steelhead
in streams above tidewater.
Most of the larger rivers will be
too warm for trout and the
water level in many of the
smaller streams is extremely
low.
Fishing is restricted to artifi-
cial flies and lures in streams
above tidewater.
A couple chinook salmon
have been caught in between
the jetties on Coos Bay.
Mooching with herring or
trolling a cut-plug herring work
well for catching salmon.
Anglers are still catching a
few rockfish inside lower Coos
Bay around the jetties. The best
fishing has been around the
slack tides.
WINCHESTER BAY:
Bottomfish, perch
Fishing for bottomfish in the
Triangle and South jetty has
been successful. Perch fishing
has been productive in the bay,
and it was reported that good
size striped perch were being
caught along the jetty.
Crabbing has been improv-
ing, and there have been
reports of coho and Chinook
being caught in the ocean off of
Winchester Bay.
PACIFIC OCEAN and BEACH-
ES: Bottomfish, salmon,
Dungeness crab, tuna
The ocean is open for har-
vest of Dungeness crab.
Crabbing has been good out-
side of Coos Bay and
Winchester Bay.
Recreational ocean salmon
season from Cape Falcon to
Humbug Mt. is open for
Chinook salmon and fin-
clipped coho. The bag limit is
two salmon per day, and a min-
imum size for Chinook salmon
at 24 inches or larger and a
minimum size for coho salmon
at 16 inches or larger.
Fishing for chinook from
Bandon to Winchester Bay has
been slow. Fishing for coho has
been decent but only about a
third of the coho caught were
fin-clipped.
Tuna fishing along the south
coast has been very slow. There
have been a couple reports
from Charleston of tuna caught
20-30 miles off shore but in
very low numbers.
The nearshore halibut season
is open seven days a week
inside the 40-fathom line.
Anglers were catching a few
halibut near Bandon inside 40-
fathoms this past weekend.

That time you caught a 5-yard
curl and proceeded to drag half of
the little brothers on the block that
you agreed to let play that “one
time” 50 yards after the catch for
a touchdown like Mark Bavaro?
It would have been all for
naught had you not been piping in
the play-by-play to yourself ala
Keith Jackson, Marv Albert, Gil
Santos, Bill Grigsby, Hank Stram
or Pat Summerall. That was a dif-
ferent era, to be sure.
It was a time when football
coaches wore suits and fedoras on
the sideline, a time when Michel-
ob used to come in funky bottles
emblazoned with gold and red
ribbons and was considered a pre-
mium beer, a time when you did-
n’t need a $66 billion search en-
gine in order to figure out what
channel the game was on, because
there were only three channels.
And on Monday night, you can
bet that all the world was watch-
ing Monday Night Football.
Frank Gifford was a star long
before he was the tolerant All-
American glamour boy in the
booth, the guy who used to break
the games down while preventing
Howard Cosell from having a
break down. Cosell was the sports
announcer who could never be
ignored, whose arrogance often
ed levels of domoic acid, and
includes all beaches, rocks, jet-
ties and bays. The recreational
harvest of mussels is open from
the Columbia River south to
Cape Arago.
• Recreational harvest of
razor clams is closed along the
entire Oregon coast from the
Columbia River to the
California border due to elevat-
ed levels of domoic acid.
C RABBING :
• Ocean crabbing remains
relatively slow, although last
week the Charleston area
was a bright spot. Larger ocean
crab off the central
coast are molting, and a soft
transcended his greatness.
But it was Frank who won
everyone over. He was a trailblaz-
er — the first guy to really transi-
tion into the booth after his Hall
of Fame football career.
And for all of Cosell’s bluster,
when it came time to break the
news to the world that John
Lennon had been killed, he froze,
and he looked over to the guy
seated at his right, the other guy
in the gold blazer — the golden
boy, Frank Gifford himself. MVP
in 1956. Hall of Famer, triple
threat.
And he said to the man with all
the words, the man who never
played the game, that it was just
that: a game.
“Got to do it,” Gifford said.
Today upon learning of the
passing of Francis Newton, they
called him “Frank” because quite
frankly, he was New York’s first
football star.
The Yankees had the Babe and
the Iron Horse. The Trolley
Dodgers of Brooklyn had Jackie
Robinson. The Jets had Joe
Willie, and the Mets had the “Say
Hey Kid.” But for Big Blue, their
first shining star was truly a
Giant.
Frank Gifford, the man who
could kick, run and pass, passed
from this vale of tears at age 84.
He will be missed. Condolences
to Kathy Lee and family.
shell indicates the meat will
be watery.
Smaller crab that have not
yet molted — look for barna-
cles on the shell — are a
better option for the crab
kettle.
Bay crabbing has improved
but is still slower than ocean
crabbing at this time. Bay and
ocean crabbers might run into
red rock crab as well as
Dungeness crab.
Red rock crab is a native
species but is not present in all
of Oregon’s bays.
Good places to try are from
the docks in Tillamook Bay,
Yaquina Bay and Coos Bay.
B OTTOM F ISHING
Rockfish catches were fairly
good last week, particularly out
of the Charleston area. Lingcod
catches were slower.
REMINDERS: The ocean is
open for bottom fishing only
inside of the 30-fathom regula-
tory line (30-fathom waypoints)
through Sept. 30.
• New for 2015. China, cop-
per, and quillback rockfish (in
addition to yelloweye rockfish)
may not be retained.
• New for 2015. The marine
fish daily bag limit is seven
fish, of which no more than
three can be blue rockfish and
no more than one can be a
canary rockfish.
Anglers are also reminded
that no more than one can be a
cabezon (no change from last
year).
