6 B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2016 Sailors from 1B After trailing 4-13 in the first set against visiting Alsea, the Sailors rallied to within 2 points on a trio of aces from sophomore Erin Michael, who also scored 3 kills. That, along with 3 kills from Haley Wells, put the Sailors at 11-13. Fishing from 1B Anglers are reminded that from Knight Park boat ramp to Sulphur Creek, until Dec. 31, angling is restricted to single point hook metal lures, fly angling, or salmon bobber angling. 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 clear. For cutthroat trout, cast- ing small spinners, spoons or fly fishing streamers or dry flies can be very effective. YAQUINA RIVER: Cutthroat, Chinook The Yaquina River and bay is open for Chinook salmon. Fishing is fair. Trolling herring in the lower bay is an effective technique. Eggs and bobber can be productive in the upper bay and river as the season progresses. For cutthroat trout casting small spinners, spoons or fly fishing streamers or dry flies can be very effective. Angling for all species in streams Hays sent back-to-back kills across the net to tie the set at 13- 13 before Alsea moved ahead 16- 13 on three aces. After trading points, Mapleton tied the game again, this time at 21-21, prompting an Alsea time- out after two aces from sopho- more Bailey Messick. A pair of errors by the Sailors and 2 kills from the Wolverines put Alsea on top for the win, 25- 22. Michael started things off in the second set with a pair of aces, only to have the Wolverines tie things up at 10-10, then move ahead by 7 points. Kills from Hays and Wells, along with aces from Hays and sophomore Alyssa West, brought the Lady Sailors back with a 24- 24 tie. Another ace from Michael gave Mapleton the advantage, which Wells delivered on with a kill for a 26-24 win that evened the match at 1-1. In the third set, the Sailors never trailed by more than four until late in the set, when Alsea went on a five-point scoring run to win it, 25-18. The Wolverines went on to take the match with a 25-14 win in game four. Hays had 20 attacks, 6 kills, 8 digs, 3 blocks and 2 aces. Michael had 10 aces, 10 attacks, 5 kills and 4 digs. Halverson had 3 attacks, 1 kill and 12 digs. Messick had 3 aces, 3 attacks and 2 kills. West had 4 aces, 1 attack, 1 kill, 10 digs and 1 block. Wells had 1 ace, 6 attacks, 3 kills, 5 digs and 3 blocks. “I’m very proud of this team and how far it has come this sea- son,” said Crook, whose team was down to six active players by the end of the season. “They never gave up and were a joy to coach this season.” above tidewater is open. 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. updates for season informa- tion. Fishing for bottom fish is open to all-depths. Fishing for black rockfish has been good from Coos Bay south to Bandon. Fishing for ling cod has been decent. The marine fish daily bag limit is 7 fish and a separate daily limit for lingcod is 2. Anglers can only keep 3 blue rockfish and 1 canary rockfish as part of their daily limit and there will be no har- vest of China, quillback, or copper rockfish. Anglers may harvest 1 cabezon per day. To help anglers identify common species and comply with the regulations, ODFW has produced several sheets of ID Tips for blue vs. black rockfish and for China, copper and quillback rockfish, as well as a handout titled “What Can I Keep, and How Many?” M USSELS : Mussels are Closed along the entire Oregon coast due to elevated levels of domoic acid. R AZOR C LAMS : Razor clamming is closed along the entire Oregon coast due to elevated levels domoic acid. B AY C LAMS : Bay clamming is open along the entire Oregon Coast from the Columbia River to the California border. Check the ODFW Shellfish website for where and when to harvest your favorite bivalves. Updated maps on where to clam. Unfortunately, there will be not be any good low tides for bay clamming this week. 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. COOS COUNTY LAKES AND PONDS: Warmwater fish, 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 reallocat- ed to Upper Empire and Butterfield lakes. Currently fishing for trout has been decent in the deeper lakes like Eel Lake. Anglers are having success slowly trolling wed- ding rings. UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH : Closed The South Umpqua is closed through Nov. 30 to pro- tect spawning fall Chinook salmon 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 WINCHESTER BAY: Bottomfish, perch Fishing for bottom fish in the Triangle and South jetty has been successful. PACIFIC OCEAN AND BEACHES: bottomfish, Dungeness crab, surf perch, salmon, halibut Recreational harvest of crab is open along the entire Oregon Coast. Razor clamming is closed south of the north jetty of the Siuslaw River. Recreational ocean salmon fishing from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mt. is open for Chinook salmon. Anglers are allowed two salmon per day with a mini- mum size for Chinook at 24 inches or larger. The Nearshore Halibut sea- son is open seven days a week from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mt.
