“They have a chance to win
a (Far West) League title and
finish well at state. That’s
probably a realistic goal,”
Johnson said.
Juniors Jack Pickell (30th)
and
Andrew
Rannow
(51st), along with sophomore
Isaac Griffes (54th) are
returning
scorers
from
last year’s state champi-
onships.
Kyle King hopes to build
on an 80th-place finish
as a freshman last year.
“You need a big stick, a
top runner, to place well,”
says Johnson. “We have that
with Celie. She works
hard, she trains hard, she
sleeps right, she eats right
— She’s a coach’s dream.”
Johnson’s

plan
for another state title is both

Fishing
TENMILE BASIN: Trout,
largemouth 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
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.
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 oppor-
tunities are coming in the
early mornings when river
temperatures 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.
WINCHESTER BAY:
UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH:
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.
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.
PACIFIC OCEAN and
BEACHES: Bottomfish,
salmon, Dungeness crab, tuna
The ocean is open for har-
vest of Dungeness crab and
it’s been good outside of
Coos Bay and Winchester
Bay.
Recreational ocean salmon
season from Cape Falcon to
Humbug Mt. is open for
Chinook salmon. The fin-
clipped coho season closed
on Aug. 9 and the non-selec-
tive coho season does not
open until Sept. 4. The bag
limit is two salmon per day,
and a minimum size for
Chinook salmon at 24-inches
or larger. Fishing for Chinook
from Bandon to Winchester
Bay has been slow.
Tuna fishing along the
COOS COUNTY
LAKES/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

submerged logs and weed
lines.
is for distance runners
to increase their aerobic
development,” he says —
and detailed, with a week-
by-week,
day-by-day
distance workout handout
titled “Become a Legend.”
For the most dedicated
of his runners, there may be
no more than three or
four weeks off in a calendar
year.
“The
kids
know
if
they come every day and
be consistent, they’ll get bet-
ter,” he says. “It’s not a
game. Distance running is
hard work.”
Workouts include push-
ups,
situps,
stretching,
weightlifting, faster-paced
tempo runs once a week,
fartlek training (mixing
speeds) and a weekly long-
distance run.
“Celie’s long run will be 95
minutes, maybe 12, 13
miles,” says Johnson, who
Siuslaw junior Celie Mans finished fourth at state last year
and will be the girl’s team leader this season.
south coast was spotty. Some
boats did very well with most
fish caught 20-30 miles off
shore.
The nearshore halibut sea-
son opened on July 1. The
fishery is open 7 days per
week inside the 40-fathom
line. Anglers were catching a
few halibut near Bandon
inside 40-fathoms this past
weekend. As of Aug. 2, 72
percent of the nearshore hal-
ibut quota remains. The
Summer All-Depth halibut
season opened this past week-
end and will be open every
other Friday-Saturday until
the quota of 43,908 pounds is
met.
Fishing for bottom fish is
restricted to inside the 30
fathom curve.
• SALMON
Much of the Oregon coast
(Cape Falcon to the OR/CA
border) is now closed to coho
salmon fishing. This area
remains open for all salmon
except coho, but Chinook
fishing has been only fair out
of most ports. Remaining
coho quota will be transferred
to the non-selective coho
salmon season that opens
Sept. 4 from Cape Falcon to
Humbug Mt.
North of Cape Falcon, the
fin-clipped coho fishery
remains open and has been
very good to anglers. Anglers
fishing in this area are
reminded that no more than
one Chinook is allowed in the
daily limit of two salmon.
The Columbia River
Control Zone is closed.
• PACIFIC HALIBUT
The Columbia River
Subarea (Cape Falcon north
to Leadbetter Point, Wash.)
nearshore fishery is open
daily until Sept. 30 or the
quota has been met; fishing
has been slow.
The all-depth Pacific hal-
ibut fishery in this subarea is
closed for the remainder of
2015.
• TUNA
Recreational albacore
catches picked up last week.
South coast anglers averaged
four per person, and landings
elsewhere were good if per-
haps spotty. By most
accounts, fish were cruising
30-40 miles offshore.
• BAY CLAMS
Coos Bay, Yaquina Bay,
Netarts Bay, and Tillamook
Bay are four bays where bay
clams, like gaper clams, but-
ter clams and cockles, can be
taken if not affected by shell-
fish safety closures. Recent
stock assessments have
revealed abundant popula-
tions and that current harvest
levels are sustainable.
• CRABBING
Ocean crabbing is very
good. Limits in places; Some
animals still have soft shells.
A soft shell indicates the meat
will be watery and disap-
pointing. Crabs with hard
shells or that have not recent-
ly molted — look for barna-
cles on the shell — are a bet-
ter option for the crab kettle.
still runs about 35 miles a
week himself.
It’s
a
system
that
has worked well for Johnson
over 20 seasons as head
coach of Siuslaw cross coun-
try, producing six girls state
titles and four boys state
titles.
“Nothing’s ever easy,” he
says. “We’ve had some suc-
cess over the years, and this
year we could be real good.
“But we’re a long way
from
that
right
now.
Every year we have to reteach
the basics, try to create
an infrastructure so kids
know what to expect year-
round.”
Will it pay off this year?
The next time you hear a
kid chime “trick or treat,” you
might have your answer.
