Annual SOLVE beach,
river cleanup is Sept. 24
Join friends, neighbors and thousands of
Oregonians from across the state on
Saturday, Sept. 24, for the annual SOLVE
Beach Riverside Cleanup, presented by the
Oregon Lottery.
SOLVE invites volunteers of all ages to
help remove invasive plants, restore natural
areas and clean up hundreds of miles of
beaches, rivers, parks and neighborhoods
before fall rains wash litter and debris into
storm drains and out to sea.
SOLVE and presenting sponsor, the
Oregon Lottery, is joining more than 5,000
Oregonians who will mobilize across the
state for the 33rd annual Beach Riverside
Cleanup. This event is part of the
International Coastal Cleanup and National
Public Lands Day.
The event will be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
(times may vary by site).
Volunteers can find choose from more
than 100 projects, including 46 beach
cleanups coastwide, at solveoregon.org or by
calling 503-844-9571 ext. 332.
From the headwaters of the Willamette
River to the Oregon coast, Oregon’s water-
ways and natural areas are facing serious
threats from diminishing wildlife habitat,
invasive plants and litter that flows down-
stream into rivers and out to the ocean.
Join fellow Oregonians in supporting the
health of their state by cleaning up litter from
source to sea.
“A common thread that binds nearly all
Oregonians together is how much we all take
pride in our state,” said Oregon Lottery
Acting Director Barry Pack. “And one of the
things we can all be proud of is how SOLVE
and thousands of Oregonians have been help-
ing make Oregon a special place for 47
years.”
As a long-time supporter of SOLVE and
events like SOLVE’s Beach Riverside
Cleanup, Pack said the Oregon Lottery
encourages everyone to find a SOLVE event
in their area and continue the great work that
SOLVE has been doing for decades.
The Beach Riverside Cleanup is made
possible by: Presenting Sponsor the Oregon
Lottery; Legacy Sponsor: Metro; Major
Sponsors: Clean Water Services, Fred Meyer,
Pacific Power and Wells Fargo; Coordinating
Sponsors: Local Coast Haulers and the
Oregon Parks and Recreation Department;
Media Sponsors: K103FM and KOIN 6;
Supporting Sponsors: Chevron and Skanska;
Community Sponsor: NW Natural.

progresses. Parking can be
limited at Knight Park during
the fall salmon return.
SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead,
cutthroat, Chinook
The Siletz River and bay is
open for Chinook salmon
through Dec. 31. Fishing is
slow but will pick up over the
next several weeks. Trolling
herring in the lower bay is an
effective technique. Eggs and
bobber or drifting eggs can be
productive in the upper bay
and river as the season pro-
gresses. Consult the regula-
tions for changes in deadline
locations through the season.
Steelhead fishing is fair.
Casting spinners, drifting bait
or using a bobber and jig can
be effective. Cover water and
fish small and simple as the
river conditions are low and
help cheer the Ems to victory
over the Hops. The Ems are
playing for a chance to win
their first Northwest League
Title since 1975.
This give away comes in
lieu of the University of
Oregon appreciation shirt give
away for Friday, Sept. 2. The
Ems will still be having a UO
appreciation night, showing
highlight videos and playing
the Oregon fight song.
Tickets for the Sept. 8, play-
off game are on sale now at the

For cutthroat trout, casting

WILSON RIVER: Steelhead,

Fishing for steelhead is fair.
The water is low and clear, so
use lighter gear and target the
deeper holding areas. Angling
for cutthroat should be fair to
good, sea-runs should be

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.
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.
