SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 2017 Little from 1B In 1975, the Culver Bulldogs re-entered their first team after the second team scored a touchdown and a 98-6 lead on Arlington. The 2-point conversion made the final score 100-6. Shaking hands, I don’t think so. When my team, the Spray Fishing from 1B 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. SILETZ RIVER: Steelhead, Chinook, trout The Siletz River opened for wild Chinook on April 1 (1 per day and 2 per season). Spring Chinook and summer 3 B Eagles, scored to make the score 27-0 against Heppner in the first quarter, it was our last score; the final was score 27-0. Why pile it on when the out- come has been decided? We shook hands and their coach thanked me. In 1976, my Spray girls’ basketball team consisted of just five girls. Fouls sometimes left us with fewer than five on the court. Teams used this advantage. Mount Vernon pressed us in overtime when there were two Spray players left. It goes without saying that they won. In 1978, I was the Siuslaw JV girls basketball coach. We were playing Waldport at home. I called a timeout and, as my girls came to the bench, I walked across the gym to admonish boorish behavior by several Siuslaw students. Their inappropriate words were directed at the Waldport play- ers. I told them to cheer positive- ly or leave. They exited in mass. Later, when the Waldport girls were down to four play- ers, I placed my fifth girl close to our bench and to not partic- ipate. After the game ended, my team asked me why I did that. I referred to my Spray expe- riences. Fans have become bolder. The somehow have the con- cept that they have a basic right to say what they want because they paid to be there; fans try to emulate the behav- ior of college and professional fans. However, the admission paid to enter the arena is not a license to be overtly negative in speech or action. The play- ers, coaches and officials are trying their best. Crowds need to understand the level of com- petition and behave according- ly and appropriately. The stands at any Siuslaw High School sporting event should be a safe and respectful atmosphere for everyone. 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. Summer steelhead fishing has picked up a bit on the Wilson River and is fair. There are fish throughout the system, and fresh fish are still coming in. Target riffles and the top of pools during first and last light, and con- centrate on deeper holding pools once the sun is on the water. Fishing stealthy, with light gear, and targeting first and last light is often the key to success with these fish. 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. YAQUINA 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. 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. A few anglers are still catching a few trout in both Lower and Upper Empire Lakes using PowerBait or trolling a spinner in the deep- er water. 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 “larg- er” trout to last year’s stock- ing of “legal” size trout. PACIFIC OCEAN and BEACHES: Bottomfish, surf perch, crab, salmon, halibut Recreational crabbing is open along the entire Oregon coast. The nearshore halibut sea- son (inside 40 fathoms) is now open seven days a week except when there are All Depth Halibut days. The next All Depth Halibut days are August 4-5. As of July 9, there is 43 percent of the Nearshore quota remaining. Recreational Chinook salmon fishing is open from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain. Anglers may have two salmon per day but is closed to retention of coho except during the selective and non-selective coho sea- sons. The selective coho season is open and will remain open until July 31 or until the 18,000 marked coho quota has been met. Anglers have reported catching both Chinook salmon and hatch- ery coho in the Charleston area early last week. As of July 9, there is 94 percent of the selective coho salmon quota remaining. C LOSURES : • Razor clams remain closed along the entire Oregon coast due to elevated levels of domoic acid. This includes all beaches and bays. S HELLFISH Call the ODA shellfish safety hotline at 1-800-448- 2474 before harvesting for the most current information about shellfish safety clo- sures. Additional information is available from ODA’s Food Safety Program at 503-986- 4720 • The Central Oregon Coast Pacific halibut spring all-depth fishery is now closed. • Mussels are closed from Tillamook Head (just north of Cannon Beach) to Cascade Head (just north of Lincoln City). O CEAN S ALMON Ocean Chinook fishing effort and catch have been slow so far this season; how- ever, some ocean Chinook were landed in Garibaldi, Pacific City, Florence, and Winchester Bay last week. The Selective Coho (fin- clipped) season between Cape Falcon and Humbug Mountain opened on June 24 and will run through the ear- lier of July 31 or an 18,000 marked coho quota. The bag limit is two salmon per day, and all coho must have a healed adipose fin clip. Best success was observed for anglers fishing out of Florence, Winchester Bay and Charleston. Most salmon being encountered are coho at all ports. Indications are that coho salmon will be moving up the coast in the next few weeks with expecta- tions for better catches in more northerly ports from Newport to Garibaldi. B OTTOM F ISHING Bottomfish fishing contin- ues to be good out of most ports along the coast. Anglers were averaging close to one lingcod and four rockfish per trip. Remember to know and understand the new bag lim- its (see below). New bag and sub-bag lim- its for 2017: To stay within Federal allocations, and try to provide for year-round fish- ing opportunities, there are some changes to daily bag limits. Canary rockfish has been declared rebuilt and is now part of the 7 fish marine bag limit (no sub-bag limit). Black rockfish have a sub- bag limit of 6 fish (out of the 7 fish daily bag, no more than 6 may be black rock- fish). There is a 4 fish sub- bag limit for blue/deacon, China, copper, and quillback rockfish combined (out of the 7 fish marine bag, no more than 4 may be these species combined). P ACIFIC H ALIBUT In 2017 vessels fishing for or retaining 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 regulatory 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. Let Paul show you a new car or truck.
