Olalla Reservoir has
been stocked with about
100 surplus summer steel-
head from the Siletz Falls
trap, 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 inches may be retained,
and these fish will almost
all be in that size range.
Mid Coast lakes have
been stocked with trout
throughout the spring.
Trout stocking 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.

hen new athletes
start high school in
their freshmen year, they are
eager to begin their high
school sports careers, even
if the beginning is only in
junior varsity. Athletes in
lesser known sports with
smaller teams, however,
have the unique advantage
of advancing to varsity
immediately — given that
there are hardly enough kids
to make one full team, much
less a second one.
This is especially the case
in bowling, where many
teams are carried by one or
two senior students who have
been bowling all their lives.
In the realm of the sport,
seeing a freshman teams with
nothing to their names is gen-
erally met with scoffs and
laughter, and they definitely
aren’t seen as any competi-
tion.
The sounds of countless
strikes in the alley quiets
those sentiments.
For the Siuslaw High
Chinook, trout
Fall Chinook season is
open and fishing is starting
to pick up in the estuary.
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.
Siuslaw High School bowling
teams practice and compete
at Holiday Bowl in Florence.
HANNA ANDERSON/FOR SIUSLAW NEWS
School boys team, the reputa-
tion of “the freshman bowl-
ing team” isn’t easy to shake
off, even after three full years
of bowling. This last year, the
team placed third in the
entire state, and that is with-
out the one senior carrying it

Steelhead, Chinook, trout
The Siletz River is open
for fall Chinook and fish-
ing is starting to pick up in
the bay. Spring Chinook
and summer steelhead are
being caught, and fishing
should continue to
improve.
Recycling hatchery sum-
mer steelhead from the
Siletz Falls trap has ended
for the season. Casting
spinners, drifting bait or
using a bobber and jig can
be effective.
There should be some
nice cutthroat around.
