we are honored to have Eugene
be the launching point for a
new generation of Cubs play-
ers.
“The support and cama-

been top notch. It’s a privilege
to be a member of the Cubs

for the future.”

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. Fishing
in the area lakes for trout has
been ok with anglers having
the best success using small
spinners, spoons, or garlic fla-
vored Powerbait. The daily
trout bag limit in these lakes is
five trout per day with only
one trout over 20 inches.
There are trout available for
kids in the Millicoma Pond at
the Millicoma Interpretive
Center and fishing is excellent.
Millicoma Pond is set aside for
kids fishing only and is a great
chance for them to hook into
fish.
Call before traveling to
Millicoma Pond to make sure
the gates are open. The phone
number is 541-267-2557.
Largemouth bass and
bluegill fishing is picking up
with the warmer days. This
time of the year bass and
bluegills will be found in shal-
low water typically near a
weedline or structure. Plastic
worms, shallow crankbaits,
and spinner baits are good to
use for bass.
Bluegills will bit on worms,
small jigs, or flies.
Dungeness crab, bay clams,
rockfish
Trout season is now open in
rivers and streams.
Anglers have been catching
rockfish along the jetties and
submerged rock piles. An
occasional ling cod is also
being caught in the bay. The
marine fish daily bag limit for
bottom fish (rockfish) is seven
fish and a separate daily limit
for lingcod (two). Anglers can
