B Y N ED H ICKSON Siuslaw News S IUSLAW N EWS 148 Maple St. Florence 541-997-3441 S iuslaw Middle Schoolers Kelsie Phillips and Ki’ana Moody filter through the murky water’s edge of Cleawox Lake. They’re on the hunt for things in a world most people never notice — or even see. “We’re scooping macroinverte- brates,” says Moody, who dumps a fine-screened net into a plastic bucket of lake water. Noticing movement along the sur- face, Phillips points to a tiny water bug skimming the surface with a mul- titude of legs. Next to her, Isaac Glowacki adjusts his Cincinatti Reds baseball cap and & SHEET METAL, INC. “Your Local Independent Trane Dealer” Florence’s Oldest & Largest Heating Contractor CCB#64 concentrates, walking knee-deep in the water looking for signs of move- ment while tying to avoid stirring up the lake bottom. He crouches slowly and grabs a “water skipper” by the leg. “Look at that,” he says, holding it up, then dropping it into a bucket of water. On the lake, a small outboard motor revs as Siuslaw Watershed Council (SWC) volunteer and new Siuslaw Middle School principal Andy Marohl takes a small group of young anglers out in his boat for a little fishing. “I heard someone caught a catfish here last week,” says sixth-grader Katelyn Irvin. Mike Frankhouser, kids activity coordinator for the Salmon Trout Enhancement Program (STEP), gives last-minute instructions to a group about to climb into another boat head- ing out to fish. “Remember to listen to your boat captain and to have fun,” says Frankhouser. Meanwhile, another group is climb- ing into canoes with the help of SWC volunteers. Welcome to the SWC Intermediate Camp, the first of three summer camps hosted by the SWC offering a hands-on, close-up look at the Siuslaw Watershed to local youth ranging from grades four through 12. • Heating Systems • Heat Pumps • Sales / Service • Ductless Heat Pumps See WATER 4B SALMON RIVER: Cutthroat The Salmon River is open for cutthroat trout , casting small spinners, spoons or fly fishing streamers or dry flies can be very effective.
