Golfing ‘fore’ a good cause
On Saturday, June 4, a record number of golfers showed up at
Ocean Dunes Golf Links in support of the local Boys and Girls
Club for its annual Fore Kids golf tournament, which raises funds
for the nonprofit organization’s many programs. Teams of four
began with a shotgun start in a best-ball format. The event also
included hole-in-one prizes, a golf ball drop by helicopter, a raf-
fle and barbecue dinner. Complete results were unavailable at
press time. Look for a complete wrap-up of winners, fundraising
results and photos in this Saturday’s Sports section.

Rainbow trout stocking
is underway in many loca-
tions along the mid coast.
Look at the stocking report
to see the full stocking sea-
son.
Fishing for the various
warm water fish species is
good this time of year as
fish move to the shallows
for spawning. There are
numerous lakes in the
Florence area that can pro-
vide good opportunity and
have both boat and bank
access.
ALSEA RIVER:
The river is now open to
cutthroat trout fishing.
Casting small spinners,
spoons or fly fishing
streamers or dry flies can
be very effective. Bait is
not allowed above the head
of tide until Sept. 1.
SALMON RIVER:
The river basin is open
for cutthroat trout fishing.
Casting small spinners,
spoons or fly fishing
streamers or dry flies can
be very effective. Bait is
not allowed above the head
of tide until Sept. 1.
