SILETZ RIVER: 11:18am / 1.5 Commission adopts 2018 sport fishing regulations 5:44am / -0.3 5:32pm/ 2.6 S IUSLAW N EWS 148 Maple St. Florence 541-997-3441 SALEM — The Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted 2018 sport fish- ing regulations today at its meeting in Salem. Some of the changes anglers will see next year include: • Anglers with a two-rod endorse- ment will be able to use up to five rods when ice fishing (statewide). • There will be additional opportu- nity for retention of hatchery spring Chinook from Jan. 1 through July 31 in some NW Zone streams including the Wilson, Trask, Nestucca, Kilchis River(s). • No bag or size limits for bass in the lower Deschutes River. • Change in the kokanee bonus daily bag limit in Wickiup Reservoir and Lake Billy Chinook to 5 kokanee per day in addition to the daily trout limit The meeting also includied an updated draft on the Cougar Management Plan (so anglers can take up to 10 kokanee per day). The Commission was also briefed on a draft-updated Cougar Management Plan and heard public testimony about it. The plan to guide management of cougars was last updated in 2006. The Olalla Reservoir has been stocked with over 50 surplus summer steelhead from the Siletz Falls trap, so far this season. These fish get fairly active in the lake and offer a unique fishing experience. 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. Mid Coast lakes been stocked with trout through- out the spring. Trout stock- ing is over until the fall but there still should be fish around to catch. Water temps are great and fish should be hungry, so go catch them. SIUSLAW RIVER: Trout Trout season is open and there should be some nice cutthroat around. Remember the limit on streams and rivers is two per day over 8-inches. ALSEA RIVER: Trout Trout season is open and there should be some nice cutthroat around. Remember the limit on streams and rivers is two per day over 8-inches. SALMON RIVER: Trout Trout season is openand there should be some nice cutthroat around. Remember the limit on streams and rivers is two per day over 8-inches. current draft Plan does not propose major management changes. It does incorporate more scientific literature and Oregon-specific research about cougars, including a genetics and habi- tat analysis. The updated plan will continue to stress coexistence with Oregon’s more than 6,000 cougars. The Commission approved grant funds for nine Restoration and Enhancement Projects to improve angler access or facilities or enhance fisheries and appointed John Breese of Prineville, Ore., as the Landowner Representative to the Access and Habitat Board. The Commission is the policy See SPORT 2B 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, and fishing should continue to improve. Recycling hatch- ery summer steelhead from the Siletz Falls trap has ended for the season. Casting spinners, drifting bait or using a bobber and jig can be effective. Trout is season open. Remember the limit on streams and rivers is two per day over 8-inches. WILSON RIVER: Steelhead, Spring Chinook, trout Spring Chinook fishing has been slow on the Wilson.
