Trained firefighting per- sonnel will ignite the pile fires during wet weather and moni- tor them to ensure fires do no spread outside the immediate vicinity. “Because piles can be ignit- ed during wet conditions, burn- ing them is one of our most effective ways to remove non- merchantable wood debris before it can become a haz- ardous fuel in the dry summer months,” said Nanci Curtis, zone fire management officer for the Siuslaw National Forest. Pile burning operations are planned on both Hebo and Central Coast ranger districts, as well as the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, over the next two months as condi- tions allow. Members of the public may encounter smoke associated with these burns. If unsure whether smoke or a fire is from a planned pile burn, citizens can contact their local fire department or the Coastal Valley Interagency Communication Center at 541- 750-7024 for more informa- tion.

Crabbers in Coos Bay and Alsea Bay have had some very good crabbing lately. This is the best time of the year to go crabbing as the legal-sized crabs are abundant and the meat quality is improving. Red rock crab are caught using the same gear as Dungeness crab but have a larger daily limit (24), and, unlike Dungeness crab, any size or sex of red rock crab may be retained (although most crabbers keep only the largest crab, which have a lot more meat than small ones). Red rock crab are not pres- ent in all Oregon bays; good places to harvest them include the docks in Tillamook, Yaquina and Coos bays.

COOS COUNTY LAKES PONDS: Warmwater fish, AND trout As water temperatures drop this fall warmwater fish will become more active all day long. Bass will be found in deeper water associated with cover, like weed lines or other structure. Plastic worms, shal- low crankbaits, top water lures, and spinner baits are good to use for bass. The fall is typically a good time of the year to catch yellow perch using worms or small jigs fished near the bottom. Rainbow trout are scheduled to be stocked in several Coos County lakes in early to mid- October. Due to extremely low water levels, Lower Empire Lake will not be stocked. Trout that were destined for Lower Empire Lake will be reallocated to Upper Empire and Butterfield lakes. Currently fishing for trout has been decent in the deeper lakes like Eel Lake.

Trout anglers should fish in the deep water and fish- ing is usually best in the morn- ings. 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. 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.
