Fishing
from 1C
to all fishing above the head
of tide and will reopen for cut-
throat trout fishing on May 22.
COOS COUNTY LAKES
and PONDS: Trout, warmwa-
ter fish
Bluebill Lake is scheduled
to be stocked with legal size
trout this week. 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 garlic 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 weed-
line or structure. Plastic
worms, shallow crankbaits,
and spinner 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 spin-
ner 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 remem-
ber 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 rec-
ommended you discard the
crab viscera (guts/butter)
before 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.
