CORVALLIS — The price
for commercial mushroom
harvest permits on the
Siuslaw National Forest for
all harvestable species except
matsutake will soon change
to be more in alignment with
current market prices.
Effective Monday, Aug.
15, permits will be available
for $20 to cover 10 consecu-
tive harvest days, or $100 for
an annual permit, for unlimit-
ed quantities of the following
species:
Chanterelles,
Boletus, Oyster, Sulfur Shelf
Fungus,
Slipper
Jack,
Imperial, Hedgehog, Shaggy
Mane, Lobster, Cauliflower,
Pigs Ear and Coral Fungus.
“After reappraising our
current permit options and
investigating the commercial
mushroom market, we deter-
mined that our permit pricing
was out of date,” said Lisa
Romano, Siuslaw National
Forest spokesperson. “Most
other national forests in
Oregon have already adopted
the same or comparable per-
mit pricing.”

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.
T
hursday afternoon, Viking head football
coach Jamin Pool is looking a little anx-
ious as his eyes move between the more
than 30 elementary schoolers participating in the
football camp, then to the parking lot.
Then back to his campers.
And back to the parking lot.
Finally, an assistant coach pulls into the lot
and holds up a cardboard box.
“Is that the one?” Pool hollers from across the
field, then gets the “thumbs up” from his coach.
His relief is immediately visible.
“Today’s the last day of camp, and we were
short on T-shirts because we had more kids than
we expected,” he says. “I didn’t want anyone to
go away disappointed, so we managed to get a
rush delivery — and just in time.”
Though it’s his first year as head coach, Pool
is clearly in his element as he moves from group

For cutthroat trout, cast-
ing small spinners, spoons
or fly fishing streamers or
dry flies can be very effec-
tive. Angling for all species
in streams above tidewater
is restricted to artificial
flies and lures until Sept. 1.
Casting small spinners,
spoons or fly fishing
streamers or dry flies can
be very effective.
