SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 2017 C&M Stables offering new adult riding club In response to requests from local customers, C&M Stables is creating an adult horseback riding club beginning in February. The Riding Club will be open to anyone age 18 or older, and no previous riding experience necessary. The Riding Club will meet once a month for four months. Each session will be two hours and will include trail, dune and beach rides, with a 30-minute orientation during the first ses- sion. Those who are interested in learning how to groom and saddle a horse as a part of the experience are welcome to come 30 minutes before each session. C&M Stables will provide participants with the tools nec- essary, as well as instruction on how grooming and saddling a horse is done. For some, those activities are one of the best parts of riding. The Riding Club will run from February through May. If this program is successful, C&M Stables would like to host two additional sessions during the off season, October through January, then again February through May. For more information or to sign up for The Riding Club, stop by C&M Stables, 90241 Highway 101, north of Florence, or call 541-997- 7540. 3 B Oregon State Marine Board seeks public input on new facility plan SALEM — Every six years, the Oregon State Marine Board (OSMB) solicits feedback from boaters and facility owners to create a catalog of boating facility needs, and then assigns priorities to sites for grant funding. This information is compiled into the “Statewide Boating Access Improvement Plan,” commonly referred to as the “Six-Year Plan.” The agency invites boaters to participate in a survey to help identify where the needs are around the state. “With over 1,100 boating access sites in Oregon operated and owned by more than 160 different recreational boating facility owners, the Marine Board relies heavily on feed- back about the condition of boating facilities from all recreational boaters; motorized and non-motorized,” said Janine Belleque, Boating Facility Manager for the Marine Board. “We leverage the dollars brought in through boat registration fees and marine gas tax with federal grants and matching dollars from facility owners to main- tain, as well as build, new recreational boating access in the state.” The Marine Board does not own or operate any boating facilities in the state; however, the Marine Board’s Boating Facilities Section provides technical assistance to boating facility owners in the form of design, facility engineering, surveying, waterway permit- ting and grant funding to facil- ity owners. The Oregon Marine Board invites recreational boaters to complete an online survey and provide feedback on how to improve the area where you boat. Boaters can access an online survey at www.boatoregon. com, or go to the survey direct- ly at www.surveymonkey.com /r/GWGC7L6. The survey will be available online through March 31. For more information, con- tact the Marine Board’s Facility Section at 503-378- 2727. B&G Club seeks referees for basketball season Talk to your neighbors, then talk to me.

A few steelhead have been caught the past few weeks in the West Fork Millicoma, East Fork Millicoma, and South Fork Coos rivers. The West Fork Millicoma was the only river in the basin that was fishable over the past weekend. Anglers are drifting eggs or corkies along the stream bot- tom or using a jig suspended under a bobber. Anglers fish- ing the South Fork Coos River above Dellwood will need a permit from Weyerhaeuser, ing to fund the following types of projects: planning, develop- ment, rehabilitation, acquisi- tion, and acquisition and devel- opment.

In the Coos Basin 1 addi- tional hatchery steelhead may be retained per day for a total aggregate of 3 adult fish har- vested daily. Anglers have been catching a few rockfish and surfperch along the jetties and sub- merged rock piles. Fishing for rockfish in the bay has been spotty. The marine fish daily bag limit for bottom fish (rockfish) is 7 fish and a sepa- rate daily limit for lingcod (2). The 7 fish marine bag limit will remain in place, with these adjustments for 2017: Create a sub-bag limit of 6 black rockfish, remove the sub-bag limit for canary rock- fish, add China/quillback/cop- per rockfishes to the sub-bag limit with blue/Deacon rock- fish and change the limit from 3 to 4. Finally remove the 10-inch minimum size for kelp green- ling. Retention of cabezon is not allowed until July 1. Recreational crabbing is now open in all Oregon waters. Crabbing was decent over the weekend in Coos Bay. Crabbing from a boat has been better than crabbing from the dock but dock crabbers are picking up a few legal crabs. Recreational harvest of bay clams remains open along the entire Oregon coast. Clamming is excellent during low tides near Charleston, off Cape Arago Highway, and Clam Island. There are also good places to dig clams even on positive low tides in Coos Bay. Recreational harvest of razor clams and mussels is closed from the entire Oregon coast due to elevated levels of domoic acid. This includes all beaches and all bays. Before any shell- fish harvest trip, make sure to check the Oregon Department of Agriculture website for any updates. Recreational crabbing is now open in all Oregon waters. Crabbing is very slow in the lower Coquille River due to the large amounts of freshwa- ter coming downstream. TENMILE BASIN: Trout, bass, yellow perch, steelhead Trout fishing in the streams of the Tenmile Basin are now closed until May 22. Trout fishing in Tenmile Lakes is open all year. A few steelhead have been reported in Tenmile Creek. Anglers will have success plunking near the acclimation sites or fishing a jig under a bobber. Eel Creek is now open to steelhead fishing. Largemouth bass fishing has slowed down over the past few weeks. Anglers are catching bass near structure or on the deep end of the weed lines using 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 find bigger yellow perch.
