Fishing
Trout season is now open.
from 1B
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.
SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead
Steelhead fishing is slow but
the summer steelhead run is
underway. This run typically
peaks by early July but fish can
be found throughout the main-
stem at any time now. Casting
spinners, drifting bait or using a
bobber and jig can be effective.
Cover water and fish small
and simple as the river condi-
tions are low and clear.
Cutthroat trout opened May
22 and can offer anglers of all
experience levels good oppor-
tunity. Casting small spinners,
spoons or fly fishing streamers
or dry flies can be very effec-
tive.
SIUSLAW RIVER:
The river is now open to all
fishing or cutthroat trout. This
fishery can offer anglers of all
experience levels good oppor-
tunity. Casting small spinners,
spoons or fly fishing streamers
or dry flies can be very effec-
tive.
WILSON RIVER: Steelhead,
Chinook, cutthroat
Fishing for steelhead and
spring Chinook is slow. More
fish should be moving into the
river. The water is low and
clear, so use lighter gear and
target the deeper holding areas.
YAQUINA
RIVER:
Steelhead
The river basin is now open
to all fishing, including above
the head of tide.
COOS COUNTY LAKES
and PONDS: Trout, warmwater
fish
Legal size trout were stocked
this month into Powers Pond,
Empire Lakes, Bradley Lake,
Butterfield Lake, Saunders
Lake, Sru Lake, and Tenmile
Lakes.
Anglers that catch a tagged
trout in Empire Lakes can
report the tag number 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. 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.
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.
COOS
RIVER
BASIN:
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 occa-
sional 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 ling-
cod (two). Anglers can only
keep three blue rockfish and
one canary rockfish as part of
their daily limit and there will
be no harvest of China, quill-
back or copper rockfish.
Retention of cabezon is pro-
hibited through June 30.
Crabbing has been decent
with the best crabbing near
high tide. There has been a
mixture of hard shell and soft
shell crab in the catch. It is still
recommended you discard the
crab viscera (guts/butter)
before cooking.
Recreational harvest of bay
clams remains open along the
entire Oregon coast.
TENMILE BASIN: Trout,
steelhead, bass
UMPQUA RIVER, NORTH:
Steelhead, spring Chinook
Winter steelhead angling is
about over, but summer steel-
head angling will be picking up
as we move towards the sum-
mer months.

...need a friend?
As you can tell I’m not camera
shy at all, I look best in natural
sunlight. I am, however, in search of
a owner with a light touch and that
person would have to be sensitive
and patient with my needs. I’m still
working on letting down my wall and
letting someone love me. It would be
more comfortable for me to allow
this to happen if I were the only pet.
Serious inquiries only...ask for Hutch.
