New Siuslaw volleyball coach Jon Hornung gathers his players at the end of practice. Hornung is planning to use the team’s
combination of speed, aggressiveness and height to reach the next level in the Far West League and beyond this season.

program, with some of the team’s
top players also sitting in his
chemistry class.
That vantage, coupled with the
team’s development over the last
two years under coach Angie
Herring, has poised Hornung into
what he feels is an enviable posi-
tion as coach.
“I saw the dedication they had,
and am benefitting from it now as
their coach,” says Hornung.
Fishing
from 1B
fish small and simple as the
river conditions are low and
clear. For cutthroat trout, cast-
ing small spinners, spoons or
fly fishing streamers or dry
flies can be very effective.
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 AND
PONDS: Trout, warmwater
fish
There are trout available for
kids in the Millicoma Pond at
the Millicoma Interpretive
Center and fishing is excel-
lent.
Millicoma Pond is set aside
for kids fishing only and is a
great chance for them to hook
into fish. Call before traveling
to Millicoma Pond to make
sure the gates are open. The
phone number is 541-267-
2557.
Fishing for largemouth bass
is best in mornings and late
evenings. Bass will be found
in a little deeper water associ-
ated with cover, like weedlines
or other structure.
Bluegill fishing is picking
up with many fish found in or
near shallow water. Plastic
worms, shallow crankbaits,
topwater lures, and spinner
baits are good to use for bass.
Bluegills will bite on worms,
small jigs, or flies.
The Vikings will have a solid
front line with four players tow-
ering at six feet, including Far
West League first team all-lea-
guers senior Elyssa Rose and
sophomore Makenzie York as
middle blockers, and sophomore
Emma Collins, who was all-
league honorable mention as an
outside hitter last season as a
freshman.
Though the Vikings have lost
four-year starting setter Hannah
Bartlett, seniors Abby Watkins
and Brittany Long will step into
the position, with junior Maci
Wells taking over at libero for Ali
Scheer, who graduated.
The Viks will also see the
return of seniors Claire
Waggoner and HannahLeah
Jakobsen
and
sophomore
Samantha Scheer.
“Coach Hornung is really
pushing us to be more aggressive
and faster,” says Brittany Long.
“It took us a little while to get
into that pace but it’s something
we’re adapting to — and we like
it.”
Hornung says he’ll be playing
a very fast offense with quick sets
that will allow strong, hard-hit-
ting players like Rose and York to
attack more quickly off of one-
sets or quick middle sets.
“Our goal is to continue to ele-
vate ourselves and the game,”
says Hornung. “Everyone is real-
ly stepping up.”
Siuslaw opens the season
Thursday, Sept. 1, at Philomath,
beginning at 4 p.m.
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.
Fishing for yellow perch has
been slow in Tenmile Lakes.
Anglers fishing along the edge
of the weedlines are having
the best success. Worms fished
near the lake bottom work
very well for catching yellow
perch.
The water level in the lakes
is very low so boat anglers
should use caution.
for lingcod (2). Anglers can
only keep three blue rockfish
and one canary rockfish as
part of their daily limit and
there will be no harvest of
China, quillback, or copper
rockfish. Retention of one
cabezon per day is allowed.
Crabbing has been decent
for those crabbing from a boat
with the best crabbing near
high tide. There has been a
mixture of hard shell and soft
shell crab in the catch. It is
still recommended you discard
the crab viscera (guts/butter)
before cooking.
Recreational harvest of bay
clams remains open along the
entire Oregon coast.
Clamming is excellent during
low tides near Charleston, off
Cape Arago Highway, and
Clam Island. There are also
good places to dig clams even
on positive low tides in Coos
Bay.
NOTE: Recreational harvest
of razor clams is closed from
the north jetty of the Siuslaw
River south to the California
border due to elevated levels
of domoic acid. This includes
all beaches and all bays.
Before any shellfish harvest
trip, make sure to check the
Oregon Department of
Agriculture website for any
updates.
COOS RIVER BASIN:
Dungeness crab, bay clams,
rockfish
Angling is restricted to arti-
ficial flies and lures in streams
above tidewater.
Anglers have been catching
a few rockfish along the jetties
and submerged rock piles. The
marine fish daily bag limit for
bottom fish (rockfish) is seven
fish and a separate daily limit
