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.

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.
