COOS COUNTY LAKES AND PONDS: Trout, warmwater fish Largemouth bass fishing has been good in many of the area smaller lakes. Bluegills can be found in area lakes right along the weed lines. Trout were stocked in the Millicoma Pond at the Millicoma Interpretive Center and fishing should be excel- lent. Millicoma Pond is intended for children under the age of 12. Please call before traveling to Millicoma Pond to make sure the gates are open. The phone number is 541-267- 2557. Trout have been stocked into Empire Lakes and Tenmile Lakes this week. Trophy trout were only stocked into Upper Empire Lake This was the last trout stocking in the area until October. ODFW is implementing a tag reward trout study on Empire Lakes for 2017 in which anglers will be asked to report tagged trout that are caught. Anglers can report tags on the ODFW website. Some of the tags will be worth a $50 gift card. This study is an effort by ODFW to compare stocking of “larger” trout to last year’s stocking of “legal” size trout. TENMILE BASIN: Trout, bass Streams and rivers are now open to trout fishing until Oct. 31. Fishing is restricted to arti- ficial flies and lures in streams above tidewater. Anglers may harvest 2 trout per day that are a minimum of 8 inches long. Trout fishing in Tenmile Lakes, Eel Lake, Saunders Lake are open all year.

Before any shellfish harvest trip, make sure to check the Oregon Department of Agriculture website for any updates. Surf perch fishing has been good when ocean swells are small. Surf perch anglers will do the best fishing with sand shrimp or Berkley Gulp sand worms. Fishing is typically best on the incoming tide. • O CEAN SALMON : The Cape Falcon to Humbug Mt. Chinook salmon recreational fishing season is scheduled to be open until Oct. 31. This season is open for all salmon except coho salmon, with a bag limit of two salmon per day, and minimum sizes for Chinook at 24 inches or larger, and steelhead at 20 inches or larger. Ocean Chinook fishing effort and catch have been slow so far this season; how- ever, some ocean Chinook were landed in Garibaldi and Winchester Bay last week.

The 2017 halibut quota is up 16.7 percent from 2016, which should allow for some additional fishing days, depending on weather and catch rates.
