Entire Oregon coast reopened to mussle harvesting
The Oregon Department of
Agriculture and the Oregon
Department of Fish and
Wildlife announce the reopen-
ing of recreational and com-
mercial mussel harvesting
from the south jetty of the
Columbia River to the north
jetty of Yaquina Bay at
Newport. Shellfish samples
taken from the area indicate
levels of the paralytic shell-
fish toxin (PST) have dropped
below the alert level.
The area was originally
closed to mussel harvesting
L I ’ L T OADS
Oct. 13.
As a result, all mussel har-
vesting is now open along the
entire Oregon coast.
Meanwhile, razor clam-
ming remains open only from
Columbia River to Cascade
Head, north of Lincoln City.
The harvesting of razor clams
remains closed from Cascade
Head south to the California
border due to elevated levels
of domoic acid.
The recreational harvest of
bay clams remains open along
the entire Oregon coast.

ore than 80 elementary school aged boys and girls spent Monday through Thursday afternoons last week
working with wrestling coaches from Siuslaw High School and Middle School in preparation for the Li’l
Toad Wrestling Tournament held Friday night in the SHS gym. The two-hour tournament allowed the young
wrestlers the chance to apply what they learned in actual weight-bracket competition with spectators jam-
ming th bleachers. Winners were given certificates and, hopefully, an interest in wrestling at the middle and
high school level, as well as beyond. All money earned from admission will go to local wrestling programs.

— South Coast
The south coast area
extends along the Oregon
coast from Yachats south to
the Oregon-California bor-
der. 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 cat-
fish.
North and South
Tenmile Lake provide
some of the finest
warmwater fishing on the
Oregon coast. Located on
the east side of Hwy 101
mid-way between
Reedsport and Coos Bay,
the combined lakes offer
nearly 2,000 acres of water
and miles of shoreline to
fish for largemouth bass,
bluegill, crappie and brown
bullhead catfish.
Much of the property
around Tenmile is private-
ly-owned and the lakes are
best fished by boat, but a
fishing dock at Tenmile
Lake County Park in the
small community of
Lakeside is wheelchair
accessible and a great spot
for kids. There also is a
campground and boat
launch at the County Park.
