Trophy and legal size trout were recently stocked into Empire Lakes and Powers Pond. Anglers that catch a tagged trout in Empire Lakes can report the tag num- ber to ODFW by stopping by the Charleston Office, calling 541-888-5515, or report tags online. A few of these tags are worth a $50 gift card. Bradley Lake was stocked last week with trophy trout. These fish were planted from the north side of the lake to avoid the aquatic vegetation problem at the boat ramp. Legal size trout have also been stocked recently into Tenmile Lakes and Mingus Park Pond. Fishing in the area lakes for trout has been ok with anglers having the best success using small spinners, spoons, or gar- lic flavored Powerbait. The daily trout bag limit in these lakes is five trout per day with only one trout over 20 inches. Largemouth bass fishing is picking up with the warmer days. This time of the year bass will be found in shallow water typically near a weedline or structure. Plastic worms, shallow crankbaits, and spin- ner baits are good to use for bass. TENMILE BASIN: Trout, steelhead, bass Streams in the Tenmile Basin are closed for trout fish- ing until May 22. Tenmile Lakes is open all year for trout but trout fishing has been slow. Trout fishing in Tenmile Lakes has been slow but the lake was recently stocked with legal size rainbows. Largemouth bass fishing has been good over the past week. Anglers are catching bass in shallow water on spinner baits, jigs, and rubber worms. UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH: Steelhead The South Umpqua is cur- rently open to adipose fin- clipped steelhead harvest, and a few hatchery winter steel- head are still being harvested below the confluence of Canyon Creek. There have also been reports of solid bass fishing as the water temperatures become warmer, but remember the South Umpqua is closed to all angling May 1-21. WINCHESTER BAY: Bottomfish, perch Fishing for bottomfish in the Triangle and South jetty has been successful. PACIFIC OCEAN and BEACHES: Bottomfish, Dungeness crab, surf perch, salmon, halibut Recreational harvest of crab is open along the entire Oregon Coast. It is still recom- mended you discard the crab viscera (guts/butter) before The fourth annual Oregon Dunes ON THE Triathlon and Duathlon, which features swim, bike and run events, is today at STREET Woahink Lake and Honeyman State Park. If you had to do one triathlon event, which would it be? WORD cooking. Anglers fishing the beaches from Coos Bay to Bandon have been catching redtail surf perch. Sand shrimp or Berkley Gulp sand worms have been working the best for bait. Surf perch fishing is usually best on the incoming tide. Recreational ocean salmon fishing from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mt. is open for all salmon except coho salmon. Anglers are allowed two salmon per day with a mini- mum size for Chinook at 24 inches or larger. The selective coho (fin-clipped) season will open on June 25 with a quota of 26,000 coho. The first All-Depth Halibut fishing days from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mt. will be May 12-14. The Nearshore Halibut season will not open until June 1. Fishing for bottom fish is now closed outside of a line approximating the 30-fathom curve. Fishing for black rock- fish continues to be very good from Charleston to Bandon when the ocean is calm enough for anglers to get out on the water. Fishing for ling cod has been slow recently. The marine fish daily bag limit is seven fish and a sepa- rate daily limit for lingcod (two). Anglers can only keep 3 blue rockfish and 1 canary rockfish as part of their daily limit and there will be no har- vest of China, quillback, or copper rockfish. Retention of cabezon is prohibited through June 30. BOTTOM FISHING: Central coast bottom fishing for rockfish has been good, although highly weather dependent. There were a few bar restrictions over the past week making it difficult for smaller sport boats to get out. But, charter boats did well with limits of rockfish. Lingcod catches have been spotty — likely due to lacklus- ter ocean conditions. Patchiness aside, there were some large lingcod caught on the central coast. On the north coast rockfishing has been hot — with many near limits and about 1 lingcod per angler (when boats are able to get out). SURFPERCH: Being caught on the beaches on the central and south coast. However, perch haven’t moved into the estuaries yet — although that should be happening any day. Surfperch are a diverse group of fish that provide a variety of angling opportunities.
