MID COAST LAKES
Rainbow trout stocking
is complete along the mid
coast. Holdover trout will
be available in most lakes
through the summer.
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.

CORVALLIS — The U.S. Forest
Service (USFS) is proposing to raise
campground fees or establish new
fees at some recreation sites on the
Siuslaw National Forest.
These recreation fees are reinvest-
ed locally to maintain, operate and
provide visitor services at developed
recreation sites. Fee changes are
being considered due to increasing
costs of operating and maintaining
recreation facilities, and to enable the
Forest Service to improve services or
add amenities desired by visitors at
various recreation sites.
Siuslaw recreation fees have
remained at their current levels for
more than 10 years at most sites.
Public input on the proposed
changes is welcome, and will be
evaluated by the Forest Service and
presented, along with the proposal,
to a citizen advisory committee later
this year. The advisory committee
will make recommendations that will
be subject to approval by the
Regional Forester.
Approved changes would go into
effect for the 2017 recreation season.
The proposal includes changing
campground fees to be more in align-
ment with other comparable sites
offering similar amenities on the
Oregon coast (see table below).
The proposal would also eliminate
the extra vehicle fees at camp-
grounds at Sand Lake, Sand Beach
and Hebo Lake to be in alignment
with other Siuslaw campgrounds.
By 2017, the Forest Service will
offer enhanced services at four recre-
ation sites and is proposing new fees
at these sites to help with operations
and maintenance. Castle Rock and
Rocky Bend campgrounds would be
converted to reservable group camp-
grounds for $75/night.
Major reconstruction of the Hebo
Kitchen picnic shelter at Hebo Lake
is planned for this year; under this
proposal the day use shelter would
be reservable for groups for $50/day.
A $5 day use fee at South
Lake/Pioneer Indian Trailhead would
be added and recreation passes hon-
ored.
A $5 day use fee or recreation pass
would also be honored at a new

Steelhead, Chinook, cut-

Spring Chinook angling
is improving as more fish
arrive. A few summer
steelhead are showing up,
too. Gear restrictions are in
effect in Three Rivers. On
Three Rivers, from the
hatchery deadline down-
stream to markers below
Gauldy Bridge, new
angling regulations allow
youth angling only (17 and
under) from June 1 to July
15. Check regulations.
Angling for cutthroat
should be fair to good in
the early season.
