A
WEEKLY
FISHING REPORT FOR
THE LOCAL REGION
www.dfw.state.or.us/RR
MID COAST LAKES:
Fishing for the various
warm water fish species is
fair to good during the
summer months. There are
numerous lakes in the
Florence area that can pro-
vide good opportunity and
have boat and bank access.
SIUSLAW RIVER:
Chinook, coho, cutthroat
trout
The cutthroat trout fish-
ery is fair for sea runs in
the lower reaches of the
river and in upper tide
water. Fishing during the
early mornings or near the
larger tributaries is the
most productive.
ALSEA RIVER:
Chinook, coho, cutthroat
trout
Trolling, casting lures or
bobber fishing are all pro-
ducing 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.
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
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 pro-
ductive.
The wild coho fishery
continues 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.)
Viks 2-1 at Marshfield Inv., prepare for postseason

Even with a narrow, three-
game sweep of North Bend last
Thursday in the final round of

Vikings are continuing to pre-
pare for postseason play next
week.
This past Saturday, Siuslaw

win the tournament title with a
25-15, 25-20 win over Ashland

4A, will host a state 4A play-in
match on Saturday, Oct. 31.
