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.

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.

Dungeness crab, bay clams,
rockfish, steelhead
Trout fishing in streams is
closed until May 22.
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.
To help applicants navigate
the process, OPRD will host a
webinar workshop Thursday,
Jan. 26, from 10 a.m. to noon,

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.
