and
research priorities at the
research center.
Additional details about the
Board’s responsibilities can be

The center’s mission is to
develop an understanding of
the mechanisms that may create
differences between hatchery
and wild fish, and devise ways
to reduce and manage the dif-
ferences so that hatcheries can
be used responsibly in the con-
servation and management of
Oregon’s native fish.

Burning began Oct. 4 and
will continue throughout the
fall. 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.

The first of three sessions is
set for Saturday, Dec. 3, at the

The training will be deliv-

Additional volunteer training
is scheduled for Jan. 14, 2017,
at the Oregon Institute of

To help anglers identify
common species and comply

C RABBING :
Crabbing is open coast-wide
in bays and the ocean. Ocean
crabbing has been really good.
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.

SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead,
cutthroat, Chinook
The Siletz River and bay is
open for Chinook salmon.
Fishing is fair. 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 progresses. Consult
the regulations for changes in
deadline locations through the
season.
Steelhead fishing is slow.
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

ing small spinners, spoons or
fly fishing streamers or dry
flies can be very effective.

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. Anglers are hav-

TENMILE BASIN: Trout,
bass, yellow perch
Trout fishing has been slow
in Tenmile Lakes due to warm
water. 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.
