MID COAST LAKES
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. Water
temps are great and fish
should be hungry, so go
catch them.

Friday’s match-up with Pleasant
Hill wasn’t the win the Vikings were
looking for, but it was still a vast
improvement over Siuslaw’s season-
opening 50-0 loss at the hands of
Elmira a week earlier.
“We had a good start, which is
something we can build on,” Siuslaw
head coach Jamin Poole said Friday
night. “We just have to stop beating
ourselves and eliminate the mental
mistakes. As long as we can do that,
S AILORS
we’ll continue to make progress and
compete.”
Siuslaw’s offense, which was
blanked by the Falcons, showed
marked improvement against the
Billies, leading 6-0 and 12-6 in the first
quarter before narrowly falling behind
13-12 following an 18-yard touch-
down reception in the second quarter.

Packebush and junior Evan Moso, four
turnovers in the first half helped propel
the 2-0 Elks, who took a 26-6 lead by
halftime.
Moso and Wells each scored for the
Sailors, who will be on the road this
Friday at Alsea, beginning at 7 p.m.
The Mapleton Sailors were on their
home turf again this past Friday, host-

spinners, drifting bait or
using a bobber and jig can
be effective.
