Water temps are great and fish should be hungry. So far this season, Town Lake near Pacific City has been stocked with nearly 200 surplus summer steel- head from Cedar Creek Hatchery. In addition, 66 early run winter steelhead were released there on Jan. 11. Nehalem Hatchery released 200 surplus winter steelhead into Vernonia pond, 57 into Lost Lake and 60 into Lake Lytle. These fish get fairly active in the lake and offer a unique fishing experience, especially when the rivers are blown out. Once in the lake they are considered “trout” and do not require a Combined Angling Tag. Anglers are reminded, however, that only one trout per day over 20 inch- es may be retained, and these fish will almost all be in that size range. The 2017 trout stocking schedule is available online. During Friday’s Central Coast Invitational (CCI) at Siuslaw High School, track teams from nine different schools and all six state classifications were on hand for what many used as a tune-up in preparation for fast- approaching district competition. While many athletes were working on form and technique, over at the dis- cus cage Viking junior Trent Reavis was busy launching a new school record that bested Siuslaw’s previous mark by more than 2 feet. The throw, which landed at 160 feet, 2 inches, bumped the previous record of 158-10, set by Thomas-Dotson in 2003, to No. 2. The record-breaking throw was an 11-foot improvement for Reavis, who has actually been knocking on the door of a new school record in the shot put since last April, when he tossed the steal ball 51-2.5. The mark landed him within a foot of the 1972 school record of 52-1 set by Bruce Plaep. Considering Reavis entered Friday’s invitational with a personal-best discus throw of 149-2 last May, it seems only a matter of time before his momentum in the throws helps him surpass Plaep’s 45-year-old shot put record. See TRACK 4B Mid coast lakes have been stocked and are fish- ing well. The 2017 trout stocking schedule is avail- able online. ALSEA RIVER AND BAY: Steelhead Steelhead fishing is open on the Alsea River and list- ed tributaries until April 30. Casting spinners, drift- ing bait or using a bobber and jig can be effective. SALMON RIVER: Siuslaw splits diamonds with Douglas B Y N ED H ICKSON Siuslaw News The Viking baseball and softball teams had their hands full Friday, tak- ing on Douglas in doubleheaders that capped a round-robin week of play against the Trojans. At home, the Vikings boys picked up their first win of the season in a hard- fought overtime win in the opener, that came on a hit from senior first baseman Brogan Cornish. The single drove in the winning run in the bottom of the eighth inning for a slim 8-7 win over Douglas. The Trojans went on to split the dou- bleheader and win the nightcap, 5-2. The split put Siuslaw at 1-12 overall See Steelhead The Salmon River closed for wild and hatch- ery steelhead on March 31 to protect spawning wild steelhead SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead, Chinook The Siletz River is open for wild Chinook (1 per SIUSLAW 5B See FISHING 3B 88219 1ST AVENUE GREAT LOT NEAR THE BEACH!
