The area offers some of the most productive and scenic warmwater fishing in the state with excellent fishing for bass and panfish available in large waters such as Mercer Lake, Siltcoos Lake, and Tahkenitch Lake. Tenmile Lakes located north of Coos Bay is renowned for its crappie and trophy bass fisheries, and the site of bass tourna- ments. Anglers should also try one of the many smaller lakes scattered along Highway 101 and through- out the coastal dunes area, or Triangle Lake closer to the Willamette Valley. The warmwater fish available in the south coast area include: Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, bullheads, black crappie, bluegill, pumpkinseed, yel- low perch, green sunfish, warmouth and channel See Nov. 10 5:21am / 6.6 4:40pm/ 6.7 11:00pm / 3.2 11:37pm/ 0.3 Clockwise from top: Siuslaw sophomore Brendon Jensen runs along the pond portion of the state 4A course; sophomore Hannah Rannow approaches the track for the final leg of the race; senior Isaac Griffes nears the fin- ish for 18th place individually.

The 5,000-meter course at Lane Community College in Eugene is a combination of soft terrain and nar- row, winding paths that end on the flat track leading to the finish line. When the final scores were tallied, Siuslaw’s girls team claimed fifth overall, with the boys placing seventh in their race. Though the Vikings had been pre- dicted to finish higher, it was a day of suprises, with Tillamook — which had been expected to potentially sweep both races — finishing fourth in the boys division behind Crook County (86), Stayton (96) and Newport (119).
