For the Central Coast Ranger District, personal-use permits are on a first-come- first served basis at both the Waldport and Reedsport dis- trict offices, as well as the supervisor’s office in Corvallis. There will be a reduced sup- ply of personal use permits due to a current shortage of har- vestable wood. Those interested in purchas- ing a commercial permit must first contact the district office at 541-563-8400 to learn how to submit an advance permit request in writing. Individuals may purchase a commercial permit for up to a maximum of 15 cords. Across the forest, firewood harvesting must occur in desig- nated cutting areas only. Maps can be reviewed before pur- chasing a permit and will also be issued at the time of permit sales. Depending on the permit, harvesters will have 30 to 60 days to collect their firewood from the date of purchase in the Central Coast Ranger District. When collecting firewood, harvesters are reminded to: • Adhere to provisions listed on their permit • Clean up cutting area, scat- tering or removing debris from wood cutting • Keep firewood lengths to 6 feet or less when transporting • Accurately record quanti- ties cut on their removal cards and firmly attach load tags to the transported wood. If collecting only limbs, chunks of wood, or bark for personal use only, firewood gatherers should request a free- use permit. No power equipment can be used when gathering free-use firewood. For more information or to obtain a permit, contact a Siuslaw National Forest office by calling 541-750-7000. 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. 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 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. 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. 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 above tidewater is open.

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 having success slowly trolling wedding rings. UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH : Closed The South Umpqua is ON THE STREET Are you prepared for a natural disaster?
