SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2015 B&G FOOTBALL TEAM TIES N EWPORT 30-30 IN 3 C OT On Saturday, Oct. 3, the Boys and Girls Club fifth- and sixth-grade tackle football team traveled north to Morrow Field for a rematch with the Newport Jr. Cubs. After falling behind early, the Jr. Vikings rallied back to tie the game, powered by two big touchdown runs and 40-yard punt return for a score. The defense chipped in with two key interceptions; one to end the first half and one in the end zone to force overtime. Both teams scored in the extra peri- od, battling to a 30-30 tie in over time. The Jr. Vikings head to Waldport tomorrow, Oct. 15, to battle Siletz at 6 p.m., followed by another trip north on Saturday, Oct. 17, to take on Toledo at 2 p.m. Their next home game will be Saturday, Oct. 24, against Siletz.

Offensively, the Sailors transformed the opportunities Fishing from 1C two adult coho (in aggregate with other areas with the same bag limit). The lower bay up to the North Fork confluence typically produces the best results early in the season. Lake Creek will not open for created by their defense to score eight touchdowns and the same number of conversions. Packebush chewed up 118 yards of offense, claiming three touchdowns on 10 carries. Sophomore Dominic Wells was a double threat, catching four passes for 79 yards and rushing seven times for 89 yard and three trips across the goal line. At runningback, junior AJ Foster scored twice for the Sailors, running for 201 yards and averaging 28 yards per carry. “It was a good game for us as we head into Friday,” said Greene, whose team will host Siletz in a game that will have major playoff implications. A win by the Sailors would secure third place in their divi- sion of the Mountain West, advancing them to the first round of state playoffs against the top three teams of the league’s eastern division. A loss on Friday would end their state playoff chances but guarantee them a shot at fourth place in a game that would most likely be against Mohawk. “It’s a big one for us,” said Greene. “It’s our Homecoming game with a lot riding on the outcome.” Kickoff for Friday’s game against the Warriors is 7 p.m. wild coho in 2015. The cutthroat trout fishery is fair for sea runs in the lower reaches of the river and in upper tide water. Fishing dur- ing the early mornings or near the larger tributaries is the most productive. ALSEA RIVER: Chinook, coho, cutthroat trout The fall Chinook fishery is producing fair to good results for both bank and boat anglers. Anglers are having the best action fishing from the lower bay up to the head of tide. Trolling, casting lures or bob- ber fishing are all producing depending on the section and conditions. Bank fishing near the Hwy. 101 bridge or up at the newly opened Don Lindly Park (MP 7 on Hwy. 34) can be good for both Chinook and coho. The wild coho fishery is under way and will continue through Oct. 15. The daily bag limit of 1 adult coho and sea- sonal limit of 2 adult coho (in aggregate with other areas with the same bag limit). The lower bay typically produces the best results early in the season. Cutthroat trout fishing is fair in the lower mainstem below the confluence with Five Rivers. With the low and warm river conditions the best opportunities will be in the early morning when water temperatures are the coolest. Small spinners are typically productive as wells as small spoons or fly fishing with nymphs or streamers. SALMON RIVER: Chinook, cutthroat trout The fall Chinook fishery is producing well for both boat and bank anglers in tide water. Trolling, casting lures or bob- ber fishing through the high slack tide tends to be the most productive. Cutthroat trout fishing from upper tide water through the lower river can be effective during the early mornings with sea runs moving through this time of year. SILETZ RIVER: Chinook, coho, steelhead, cutthroat trout The fall Chinook fishery has been producing fair to good results in the lower bay up to the Chinook Bend area. Chinook can be found through the head of tide but still in small numbers. Trolling or bobber fishing through the high slack seems to be the most productive. The wild coho fishery con- tinues through Nov. 30 with a daily bag limit of 1 adult coho and seasonal limit of 2 adult coho (in aggregate with other areas with the same bag limit). The lower bay up to Coyote Rock typically produces the best results early in the season. 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. Fall Chinook angling in tidewater will improve over the coming weeks as more fish arrive. YAQUINA RIVER: Chinook, coho, cutthroat trout Anglers are having fair to good results for fall Chinook from the lower bay up to the Canyon Quarry boat launch area. Trolling herring or spin- ners during the incoming tide through the high slack typical- ly produces the best results. Small numbers of Chinook are also up near Elk City. The wild coho fishery is open through Nov. 30 with a daily bag limit of 1 adult coho and seasonal limit of 2 adult coho (in aggregate with other areas with the same bag limit). The lower bay up to the airport boat ramp typically produces the best results for coho. COOS COUNTY LAKES/PONDS: Largemouth Get Results...List With Amy.

Fishing for bass will be best in the very early mornings and late evenings. Fish for bluegills around structure like submerged logs and weed lines. UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH: The South Umpqua is cur- rently closed to all fishing until Dec. 1. 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 Chinook are still being caught in the ocean off of Winchester Bay and in the lower Umpqua River. PACIFIC OCEAN and BEACHES: Bottomfish, salmon, Dungeness crab, surf perch The ocean is open for har- vest of Dungeness crab and crabbing has been good out- side of Coos Bay and Winchester Bay. Anglers are catching surf perch on the area beaches like Horsefall Beach. Fishing the incoming tides with sand shrimp usually works the best to catch surf perch. Recreational ocean salmon season from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mt. is open for Chinook salmon. The non- selective coho season closed Sept. 30. Fishing for Chinook in the ocean from Bandon to Winchester Bay has been slow.
