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/

1749 Highway 101 • 541-997-1200
Fishing
from 1B
to 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.
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.
