MID COAST LAKES • SEPT. 8 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 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.

Though the practice was closed to the public and media due to security concerns, the pub- lic was allowed to view warm-ups before being denied access once upcoming play formations began. The Ducks are coming off a 77-21 rout of Southern Utah over the weekend — the second largest win in Ducks football history since a 97-0 win over Willammette in 1916. 10:59am / 2.3 S IUSLAW N EWS 148 Maple St. Florence 541-997-3441 SALMON RIVER: Chinook, trout Fall Chinook season is open and fishing is starting to pick up in the estuary.
