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.
