2 B SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2017 Viks from 1B Siuslaw was the first to score in the game, with senior running- back Quincy Rusk breaching the end zone on a 2-yard carry after a 10-play, 79-yard series less than four minutes into the quarter. The conversion attempt failed, leaving the Vikings to kick off to Pleasant Hill, whose Cody Fishing from 1B streams and rivers is two per day over 8-inches. WILSON RIVER: Steelhead, trout Summer steelhead fishing on the Wilson has been moder- ate to slow, but there are fish throughout the system. September can be a great time to target these fish as cooler nights lower water temps, and fish that have been holding get more active. Target riffles and the top of pools during first and last light, and concentrate on deep- er 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. The Wilson doesn’t open for fall Chinook above tide water (Hwy 101 bridge) until Sept. 16. Trout is also season 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: Chinook, trout Trout is season open and there should be some nice cut- throat around.

With 2:23 remaining in the period, senior quarterback Jared Brandt strung together an 8-play drive for 51 yards, capped with a 3-yard carry by Brandt to put Siuslaw up 12-6. The Billies’ touchdown in the second quarter, on an 18-yard run by Stephen Parmenter and kick from Amanda Whetten, edged Pleasant Hill into a 1-point lead entering the half, 13-12. In the second half, the Billies struck quickly, scoring three times in the first six minutes — on a 10-yard run, a 25-yard pass reception and an 11-yard carry — for a 33-12 lead. Siuslaw’s senior wide receiver Trent Reavis gave the Viks a spark offensively with a 10-yard pass reception from Brandt with 2:16 remaining in the third quar- ter, but the Billies were able to score twice more in the fourth period to secure a 45-18 win.

Anglers from the south coast have had better success with lingcod this past week. Remember to know and understand the new bag limits. SHELFISH: • M USSELS Mussels remain closed from Tillamook Head (just north of Cannon Beach) to Cascade Head (just north of Lincoln City) due to high levels of Paralytic Shellfish Toxins.
