But still only one point ahead
of Gabe.

Fishing
from 1B
WILSON RIVER:
Steelhead, Chinook, cutthroat
Summer steelhead fishing
is slow. Fishing for cutthroat
trout should be fair. Use
lighter gear for best results as
the water is extremely low
and clear. Spring Chinook
fishing closed July 31. All
angling is closed after 2 p.m.
above tidewater until further
notice.
YAQUINA RIVER:
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 opened to fish-
ing on May 23, with trout
fishing being strictly catch
and release. Catch and release
trout fishing in South
Umpqua tributaries below
Jackson Creek Bridge also
opened on May 23, with fish-
ing 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
morning and late
afternoon/early evening.

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.
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
