aily Doubles, or
two-a-days, begin
the fall sports sea-
son, including Viking foot-
ball. There are many skills
necessary to safely and
effectively play the game.
The many offensive and
defensive positions require
time to learn. The daily
double has been around
even before my first one in
1966. The break between
twice-a-day
practices
allows players to rehydrate,
eat and rest tired muscles.
Conditioning will vary,
depending on the team’s fit-
ness upon the start of dou-
bles.
I have few fond memo-
ries of my daily doubles. I
had three varsity coaches in
three years. Each coach had
a different philosophy, the

WEEKLY
FISHING REPORT FOR
THE LOCAL REGION

MID COAST LAKES
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
