event open to the Florence
community.
“We really hope Siuslaw
school families and community
members at-large will come
join us for what is sure to be
one bright and colorful morn-
ing,” said Tiffany Holdahl,
president of the Florence PTA.
“The Color-a-Thon and Fall
Fitness Fair are two of our
biggest events this year and a
perfect opportunity to come see
what the PTA is all about —
and have a whole lot of fun.”

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.
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.

tion.

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.
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
reallocated to Upper Empire
and Butterfield lakes.
Currently fishing for trout has
been decent in the deeper lakes
like Eel Lake. Anglers are hav-
ing success slowly trolling
wedding rings.

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
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
