The historic event is expected to generate the largest mass exodus of humans in the history of the planet. More than 1 million people are expected to travel anywhere from 100 to 300 miles to reach the path of total- ity that will move through the center of North America — including 14 states — meaning that residents with- in those areas will see populations swell from anywhere between three to five times normal in the days before the eclipse. The anticipated community impact due to increased traffic and congestion is expected to begin Thursday, Aug. S UMMER 17, and last through Tuesday, Aug. 22. If you were to stay in one place all your life, the chances of seeing a total solar eclipse would be slim. Because of this, the August eclipse will be a special day as first view of the eclipse from planet Earth will happen here on the central Oregon coast. As a result, eclipse chasers will arrive wanting to be the first people to experience See ECLIPSE 3B SLUGGERS Most of the North Coast lakes were stocked with trout recently. Water temps are great and fish should be hungry, so go catch them! The 2017 trout stocking schedule is available online. ALSEA 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. SALMON RIVER: Steelhead The Salmon River closed for wild and hatch- ery steelhead on March 31 to protect spawning wild steelhead. SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead, Chinook, trout The Siletz River opened for wild Chinook on April 1 (1 per day and 2 per sea- son). Spring Chinook and summer steelhead are being caught.
