YAQUINA RIVER: Trout
Trout season opened May
22, and there should be some
nice cutthroat around.
Remember the limit on
streams and rivers is two per
day over 8-inches.
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.
Anglers have been catching
trout in Eel and Tenmile lakes
trolling wedding ring spinners
tipped with a worm.
Largemouth bass fishing has
been good and will continue to
pick up as the water tempera-
tures warm up.
Anglers are catching bass in
shallow water near structure or
on the deep end of the weed
lines using jigs or rubber
worms.
Columbia River to the
California border.
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.
Just a reminder: Anglers are
restricted to no more than two
single point barbless hooks
when fishing for salmon, and
when fishing for any other
species if a salmon is on board
the vessel.
• P ACIFIC H ALIBUT :
Vessels fishing for or retain-
ing halibut are required (1) to
have onboard a functioning
rockfish descending device,
and (2) use it to descend any
rockfish released when fishing
outside of the 30-fathom regu-
latory line.
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.

the Triangle and South jetty
has been successful.
PACIFIC OCEAN and
BEACHES: Bottomfish, surf
perch, crab, salmon, halibut
Recreational crabbing is
open along the entire Oregon

feeding on/near the surface
recently.

vated levels of domoic acid.

opened June 1, seven days per
week, until the quota is caught
or Oct. 31. Note that when
both the nearshore and all-
depth halibut fisheries are
open on the same day, e.g.,
regulations for the all-depth
fishery — namely, groundfish
retention rules — apply to all
halibut anglers, regardless of
where fishing occurs.
The summer all-depth fish-
ery opens Friday, Aug. 4, and
every other Friday-Saturday
until the quota is caught or
Oct. 31.
