2 B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, JULY 9, 2016 Annual Siuslaw National Forest report available online C ORRECTION CORVALLIS — The Siuslaw National Forest has released its 2015 annual report, which highlights the forest’s accomplishments in the last year, investments made and collaborative efforts that created jobs and got kids outside. The forest reports that 10,000 visitors enjoyed field ranger interpretive programs, over 8,000 acres of wildlife habitat were improved, and 38 million board feet of timber were sold last year. “We call the Siuslaw a for- est that works,” said Forest Supervisor Jerry Ingersoll, “and it’s true. Thanks to our great community partnerships and hard-working staff, we have a strong track record of accomplishing important restoration projects and pro- viding outstanding recreation opportunities up and down the Oregon coast.” The report is available on the Siuslaw National Forest website at www.fs.usda.gov/ Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS /fseprd508166.pdf.

Bait is not allowed above the head of tide until Sept. 1. NESTUCCA RIVER and THREE RIVERS: Steelhead, Chinook, cutthroat Spring Chinook angling is improving as more fish arrive. A few summer steelhead are showing up, too. Gear restric- tions 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 cut- throat should be fair to good in the early season. 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. Bait is not allowed above the head of tide until Sept. 1. SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead, cutthroat Steelhead fishing is slow. This run typically peaks by early July but fish can be found throughout the main- stem. Casting spinners, drift- ing bait or using a bobber and jig can be effective. Cover water and fish small and sim- ple as the river conditions are low and clear. For cutthroat trout, 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. The water is low and clear, so use lighter gear and target the deeper holding areas. Trout angling should be fair. YAQUINA RIVER: Cutthroat For cutthroat trout casting small spinners, spoons or fly fishing streamers or dry flies can be very effective. Angling for all species in streams above tidewater is restricted to artificial flies and lures until Sept. 1. COOS COUNTY LAKES PONDS: Trout, warmwa- AND ter fish Legal and trophy size trout were released earlier this month in Empire Lakes, and legal-size trout were put into Tenmile Lakes. This was the last trout stocking until fall. 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 fla- vored Powerbait. The daily trout bag limit in these lakes is five trout per day with only one trout over 20 inches. TENMILE BASIN: Trout, steelhead, bass Angling is restricted to arti- ficial flies and lures in streams and rivers above tidewater. Tenmile Lakes is open all year for trout. Anglers have been catching rainbow trout trolling wedding ring spinners. Use of bait is allowed in lakes year round. Largemouth bass fishing has been good over the past month. Anglers are catching bass near structure or on the deep end of the weed lines using spinner baits, jigs, or rubber worms. Top water lures have been effective in the early mornings or evenings. UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH: Bass, trout Trout fishing should remain viable in cold water areas. Trout fishing is catch-and- release only in the South Umpqua and tributaries. Bass fishing should be good with warming water temperatures. WINCHESTER BAY: Bottomfish, perch Fishing for bottom fish in the Triangle and South jetty has been successful. PACIFIC OCEAN AND BEACHES: Bottomfish, Dungeness crab, surf perch, salmon, halibut Recreational harvest of crab is open along the entire Oregon Coast. It is still recom- mended you discard the crab viscera (guts/butter) before cooking. Anglers fishing the beaches from Coos Bay to Bandon have been catching redtail surf perch. Sand shrimp or Berkley Gulp sand worms have been working the best for bait. Surf perch fishing is usually best on the incoming tide. Recreational ocean salmon fishing from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mt. is open for all salmon except coho salmon. Anglers are allowed two salmon per day with a mini- mum size for Chinook at 24 inches or larger. The selective coho (fin-clipped) season will Let me Showcase your property.
