Most of the North Coast lakes were stocked with trout this week. 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. SHS SOFTBALL HOSTS N. B END 5 P . M .
