4 B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2016 Sailors from 1B and under-experienced against an aggressive Reedsport lineup. Down 13-2 entering the sec- ond quarter, the Lady Sailors got scoring from Michael and Wells to tack on 4 points for a 26-6 deficit at halftime. Reedsport continued to dom- Fishing from 1B The Alsea River and bay is open for Chinook salmon. Fishing is slow. Fish are throughout the bay and river. Eggs and bobber can be pro- ductive in the upper bay and river as the season progresses. Steelhead fishing is open. Fish are entering the mainstem with the first entering steel- head near the town of Alsea. Casting spinners, drifting bait or using a bobber and jig can be effective. • Open for hatchery steel- head through Dec. 31. • No fishing from a floating device upstream from Mill Creek. SALMON RIVER: Chinook The Salmon River and bay is open for Chinook salmon. The run is near the end but a few fish are still entering the system. Trolling herring in the lower bay is an effective technique. Eggs and bobber can be pro- Bowlers from 1B The lineup for the varsity girls team includes Elyssa inate the third and fourth quar- ters, with Wells and Hays help- ing post six more points in the second half. Reedsport went on to win it, 55-17. In the boys game, the Sailors were missing three of their starters from the lineup, includ- ing one of the team’s top scor- eres, junior 6-foot-6 post Dominic Wells. “We had to break in a lot of inexperienced players Tuesday night,” said Mapleton coach Will Crook. “We weren’t able to protect the paint or rebound like we should have, and it cost us.” First-time starters junior Tanner Wilson and freshman Nate Neece came out strong, combining for 10 steals, along with 9 rebounds from Neece and 5 from Wilson. “They really came out and showed a lot of hustle,” said Crook. But much like the girls’ game, Reedsport’s overall experience — which included three seniors in its starting line- up — was too much for the Sailors to overcome. Mapleton trailed by 26 at halftime, scoring only 10 points in the second half in an eventu- al 85-23 loss to the Braves. Senior wing Hunter Simington lead scoring with 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals. Sophomore post Gabe Simington had 7 points, 7 rebounds and 1 blocked shot. Tonight, the Sailors will travel to Falls City to take on the Mountaineers. Girls tip off at 5:30 p.m., fol- lowed by the boys game at 7 p.m. Tuesday, the Sailors will host McKenzie in a Mountain West League matchup, beginning at 5:30 p.m. ductive in the upper bay and river as the season progresses. Parking can be limited at Knight Park during the fall salmon return. Anglers are reminded that from Knight Park boat ramp to Sulphur Creek through Dec. 31, angling is restricted to single point hook metal lures, fly angling, or salmon bobber angling. SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead, Chinook The Siletz River and bay is open for Chinook salmon. Fishing is slow. Fish are throughout the bay and river. 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. For cutthroat trout, casting small spinners, spoons or fly fishing streamers or dry flies can be very effec- tive. WILSON RIVER: Chinook Fall Chinook fishing is fair on the Wilson River. The Wilson has fished well for fall Chinook this season, and although things will probably start to slow down toward the end of the month, there are still some good fish coming in. Keep an eye on the weather and River conditions. All of the usual techniques, such as bobber fishing, divers and bait, and back bouncing should be effective. Although it’s still a little early, Thanksgiving is time to start thinking about winter steelhead on the lower Wilson. This basin has some early returning hatchery fish and they should start trickling in towards the end of the month. YAQUINA RIVER: Chinook The Yaquina River and bay is open for Chinook salmon. Fishing is slow. Trolling her- ring in the lower bay is an effective technique. Eggs and bobber can be pro- ductive in the upper bay and river as the season progresses. TENMILE BASIN: Trout, bass, yellow perch, coho Trout fishing in the streams of the Tenmile Basin are now closed until May 22, 2017. Trout fishing in Tenmile Lakes is open all year. There is no wild coho fish- ery in Tenmile Lakes this fall. Largemouth bass fishing has been decent over the past cou- ple weeks. Anglers are catch- ing bass near structure or on the deep end of the weed lines using spinner baits, jigs, or rubber worms. Fishing for yellow perch has picked up in Tenmile Lakes. Anglers have been catching a few yellow perch measuring 14 to 15-inches long. Worms fished near the lake bottom work very well for catching yellow perch. Anglers should fish in water depths of 15 feet or deeper to consistent- ly find the bigger yellow perch. Hurley, Ably Cody, Maxine Jones, Dixie Dyess and Sequoia Bernard. The boys varsity 1 roster is Dylan McGallian, Sitceles Fry, Neil DeVera, Logan Lindner, Chandler Call and Patrick Hill. Varsity 2 members include Levi Large, Paul Padilla, Grant Frazier, Tyler Cater and COOS COUNTY LAKES PONDS: Trout AND Rainbow trout were stocked in Upper Empire, Bradley, Saunders, Powers and Butterfield lakes last month. Anglers have been catching lots of trout on Powerbait, flies, or by trolling spinners. This was the last stocking of these lakes until the spring. Trout anglers are also catch- ing trout in Eel and Tenmile lakes. Trolling wedding ring spinners tipped with a night- crawler has been really effec- tive. PACIFIC OCEAN and BEACHES: Bottomfish, surf perch, salmon The ocean remains closed for Dungeness crabbing due to high toxin levels. Recreational harvest of razor clams is closed on the entire Oregon coast due to ele- vated levels of domoic acid. UMPQUA RIVER, SOUTH: CLOSED The South Umpqua is now open.
